Three Detained in Córdoba Homicide as Prosecutors Step Up DNA Searches and Prepare Indagatorias

Prosecutors conducted fresh forensic operations at the main suspect’s home and will take formal statements next Tuesday to clarify each detainee’s role.

Overview

  • As of Thursday, June 11, three people remain detained in the case: Claudio Barrelier, formally accused of femicide, and Soledad Andreani and Osvaldo Fassetta, both accused of concealing evidence.
  • Investigators carried out new pericial searches at Barrelier’s residence using high‑risk units and protective gear to seek genetic traces that could link suspects to the crime scene.
  • CCTV footage and store testimony place Barrelier and Andreani together on May 25 buying construction materials and show Barrelier handling a tarp in the black Ford Ka that prosecutors say was used to move and discard the body.
  • The Ford Ka was seized and found recently washed, a step prosecutors say could have removed biological evidence and that prompted targeted forensic work on the vehicle and at the home.
  • Fiscal Raúl Garzón scheduled separate indagatorias for the three detainees next Tuesday to pin down who did what, and officials warn charges may evolve as DNA results and witness statements are added to the sealed file.
