Overview
- On Sunday, June 28 a witness known as Carla told investigators that live concerts at Wachitas functioned as a cover for prostitution and that the venue served wealthy clients she described as politicians or businessmen.
- Carla said bar administrator Soledad Andreani recruited women, kept half of their earnings and ran the venue’s internal operations, and Andreani is formally accused of aggravated concealment in the case.
- The witness identified two of the people now detained as former Wachitas workers and singled out Mariana Soledad Palmero as an on‑site employee who cleaned, served drinks and, in the witness’s words, was complicit rather than deceived.
- The municipality closed Wachitas permanently after repeated safety, hygiene and operating violations at the Nueva Córdoba address, a move separate from the criminal investigation.
- Justice officials continue to gather statements, forensic evidence and records as the probe explores links between the bar’s operation, the trafficking‑style control of sex workers and the still‑unidentified powerful clients whose names have not been provided.
