Judge Orders Expanded Medical Review in Silvina Luna Homicide Probe Targeting Lotocki’s Post-Op Care

The court seeks expert answers on whether timely treatment or adequate follow-up could have prevented the hypercalcemia linked to her fatal renal failure.

Overview

  • National Criminal Court No. 60, under substitute judge Santiago Carlos Bignone, directed the Morgue Judicial medical board to expand its September 15, 2025 expert report.
  • The junta must pinpoint when granulomas developed, what intervention might have averted hypercalcemia, and the appropriate timing for such treatment.
  • The review will examine whether Aníbal Lotocki’s postoperative controls were adequate and whether he was positioned to intervene to prevent the resulting complications.
  • The order answers petitions from the family’s attorney, Fernando Burlando, representing Matías Luna, and was backed by Prosecutor’s Office No. 1 led by Pablo Turano.
  • Lotocki remains detained and imputed for simple homicide in Luna’s death, with a confirmed eight-year sentence for fraud and serious injuries and separate preventive custody in the Rodolfo Zárate case.
