Overview
- The alleged assault occurred inside a supermarket at Carabobo and La Porteña and was recorded by in-store cameras that the family provided to investigators.
- The investigation is led by prosecutor Roxana Castelli of La Matanza’s gender-violence unit, which is analyzing the audiovisual evidence.
- Authorities ordered the suspect to fix domicile, barred him from leaving Argentina, and temporarily shut the store while evidence is reviewed.
- Neighbors rallied outside the business, some tried to force entry, and police removed the suspect from the scene before releasing him later.
- Two relatives of the girl were detained during the unrest and later freed, and the family reports bureaucratic hurdles when filing the complaint at Comisaría Los Pinos.
