Overview
- The woman says she boarded a remis after leaving a nightclub in September 2025, lost consciousness in the vehicle, woke up with signs of sexual assault, and was dragged several meters when she tried to escape.
- The Salta Penal Prosecutor’s Office filed a formal accusation in late June 2026 charging the 46-year-old driver with sexual abuse with carnal access, unlawful deprivation of liberty, and minor injuries.
- Forensic analysts at the CIF Molecular Biology Service reported finding the accused’s biological material on the victim’s body and clothing, a finding prosecutors describe as a key piece of evidence.
- A police officer who recorded the car’s license plate at the scene helped investigators identify the vehicle’s owner and trace the man who rented it to work as a remis driver, and the inquiry included medical reports, security-camera checks and an inspection of the car.
- The case will be assigned at random to a judge for a control-of-accusation hearing where the judge will decide whether the prosecution’s evidence is enough to send the matter to trial.
