Romina Gaetani Case: Ex-Partner’s Detention Sought Over Missing Gun and High-Risk Assessment

A prosecutorial stance precedes a judicial ruling.

Overview

  • The victim’s attorney, Ignacio Trimarco, formally asked for the immediate detention of Luis Cavanagh in the gender‑violence case.
  • The motion centers on a declared 9 mm firearm that has not been delivered to authorities after a court‑ordered search of the Tortugas Country Club residence.
  • Forensic and victim‑assistance evaluations classified Gaetani as high risk, and protective measures such as a perimeter restriction and a requested panic button were put in place.
  • Prosecutor María José Basilio must decide whether to support the petition before the judge rules, as the investigation continues with evidence gathering.
  • Police seized ammunition, casings and related items during the January 15 raid, and media reports conflict on whether the pistol itself was recovered.
