Morena Rial Remains in Magdalena Prison as Defense Pushes for House Arrest

Her lawyers are pursuing house arrest with electronic monitoring pending verification of a proposed address.

Overview

  • A San Isidro judge revoked her prior release last week, and she is held at Unidad 51 as she is investigated for allegedly taking part in a residential-robbery ring.
  • Defense attorneys say they filed a domicile and caregiver details, and they expect penitentiary reports and electronic monitoring setup to move the request forward.
  • Lawyers acknowledge hurdles securing an acceptable residence, saying they are seeking to use Jorge Rial’s address and that he would cover her expenses if house arrest is granted.
  • Prison staff conducted psychological evaluations and provide treatment, and attorneys offered conflicting accounts about a hunger strike with Alejandro Cipolla publicly denying one.
  • She spoke with her father and greeted her son by video on his first birthday, received a visit from a close friend, and her social accounts continue publishing paid promotions managed externally.
