Tucumán Judge Orders Four Months' Preventive Detention for Man Accused of Headbutting National Deputy

Prosecutors say public video evidence supports preventive custody to protect the investigation.

Overview

  • Prosecutor Miguel Ángel Varela charged Marcelo “Pichón” Segura with aggravated serious injuries by treachery, and Judge Raúl Robín Márquez set four months of preventive detention.
  • Segura was transferred to the Benjamín Paz penitentiary as his attorney, Ernesto Bacclini, filed an appeal challenging the custody order.
  • Investigators rely on widely shared videos, pursue Segura’s missing phone and the identities of other participants, and review indications of threats or possible police protection.
  • The clash occurred on Route 157 near La Madrid during an attempt by La Libertad Avanza officials to deliver flood aid when their convoy was blocked.
  • Doctors reported a nasal fracture and cranioencephalic trauma for Deputy Federico Pelli, who was treated and kept under observation after imaging ruled out brain injury.
