Rosario Prosecutors Suspend Return of Lolo, Keep Dog Under Protection

Prosecutors paused the handover to review the proposed home as a welfare safeguard.

Overview

  • The Public Prosecutor’s Office said Friday that Lolo will stay in protective custody following days of online protests by veterinarians and animal groups.
  • Prosecutor Mariana Caratozzolo denied an immediate restitution request from a woman who claims to be the owner.
  • She ordered an expanded environmental report on the proposed residence before any placement decision.
  • The investigation centers on a viral video that local sources say was filmed by a 14-year-old who cannot be charged because of his age.
