Overview
- Prosecutors in Rosario said Monday the case, filed as “obscene exhibitions,” will proceed in a specialized sexual integrity unit and does not include prison as a penalty.
- A man, 54, and a woman, 59, were detained by airport police after a Copa Airlines flight from Panama landed early Saturday in Rosario, then released after identification and booking.
- Cabin crew reported finding the pair in business class with their clothes pulled down, a situation first flagged by a grandmother traveling with her granddaughter.
- The investigation began under provincial jurisdiction, though authorities may shift it to federal court because the conduct occurred on an international flight.
- The operation kept passengers on board for roughly 45 to 90 minutes, and the airline or aviation regulators could still impose administrative sanctions such as fines or future flight bans.
