Overview
- The five men — Carlos Alberto Kovach, Claudio Alejandro Kovach, Diego/Diego Alejandro Boscardín, Damián Giubu and Sebastián Romegialli — left Camping Hudson for a recreational fishing trip on June 14 and lost contact the same morning.
- Prefectura Naval Argentina leads a multi‑day operation using guardacostas, small boats, the Papa Alfa 62 aircraft and volunteer teams to sweep sectors from Puerto de Buenos Aires to La Plata and beyond.
- Searchers found floating belongings, reported as a backpack and a fuel canister, about 18 kilometers offshore on June 23 and moved the main search area to the sector where the items were recovered.
- Investigators prioritize drift by strong estuary currents and possible sinking as explanations; the boat reportedly had lifejackets, flares, GPS and a VHF radio but no radiobeacon or real‑time satellite locator.
- The case is under the Unidad Funcional de Instrucción y Juicio N°4 in Berazategui with fiscal Silvia Noemí Borrone overseeing family inspections of the items, and the discovery could help reconstruct the boat’s route or narrow where to continue searches.
