Overview
- The oral trial before TOC No. 2 of Zárate-Campana began with Agustín Chiminelli and his parents, Liliana Sánchez and Carlos Rubén Chiminelli, on the bench.
- Prosecutor Ana Laura Brizuela expanded the case to include two charges of sexual abuse with access carnal aggravated by participation of persons, allegedly committed at the family home.
- She also accused the father of unlawful possession of a firearm discovered during searches tied to the investigation.
- Key evidence cited includes security video showing the victim entering the house, blood traces inside, a dumbbell with DNA, and the discovery of dismembered, partially burned remains on the property.
- A pretrial ruling set aside the family cover-up exemption, enabling charges against the parents as co-authors or, alternatively, aggravated encubrimiento; the son remains in custody while ex-partners are expected to testify about prior violence.
