Overview
- Rial remains held at Unidad Penitenciaria N.º 51 in Magdalena on aggravated robbery charges after her earlier release was revoked.
- Penitentiary authorities authorized cellphone use under strict limits that her lawyer says were expanded from two to three hours per day.
- An act of commitment bars her from using social networks or speaking to the press, according to defense statements.
- Screenshots of chats and social posts attributed to Rial circulated, but her lawyer says the accounts are run by third parties and denies she made the posts.
- Defense attorneys filed a petition invoking equality before the law over her limited phone access, as a custody review of her children continues and TV reports say a prosecutor sought preventive detention and home confinement was denied.
