Overview
- TV show LAM aired audio on Wednesday in which a panelist said Martínez runs a kiosk inside Unit 60 that sells Viagra, cigarettes and cellphones.
- According to those reports, inmates pay through Martínez’s MercadoPago account and a contact outside brings the goods in for him to distribute across cell blocks.
- La Nación reported that Nicole, an alleged prior partner, posted screenshots of a message she says came from Martínez’s mother that she viewed as intimidation.
- Martínez was convicted and sentenced to 15 years for attempted femicide, illegal deprivation of liberty and repeated injuries against Emily Ceco, though he denies trying to kill her and seeks a review.
- The case has drawn broad attention because of his role on Love Is Blind: Argentina, with public figures like Cinthia Fernández sharing photos of Ceco’s injuries and defending the court’s ruling.
