In the context of the investigation initiated by the murder of Agostina Vega in the province of Córdoba, the plaintiff's attorney Fernanda Alaniz, representing the victim's father, announced that she will formally request to modify the aggravation of the criminal charge imposed on Marianela Palmero, partner of Claudio Barrelier. The attorney stated that the new evidentiary elements recently incorporated into the judicial file demonstrate a direct involvement that exceeds the procedural figure of simple concealment. The request will seek for the justice system to attribute to the woman the status of participant in the case investigating the crime committed against the young woman.
The request driven by the plaintiff's representation is based on the forensic analyses conducted on the mobile devices seized from the property located at Juan del Campillo 878. Among the units analyzed by the expert team are the phones belonging to the accused Claudio Barrelier and to Ludmila, one of the last detainees housed in the residence. Evaluating the results of the phone openings, Fernanda Alaniz expressed: “The crime unfolded in several stages and due to the evidence being incorporated into the case, I have fewer doubts and more certainties that this woman participated more than just in concealment.”
According to the accumulated reports, the information extracted from the cell phones allowed for the reconstruction of Claudio Barrelier's movements and the behavior exhibited by his partner. In her statements made to the media, Fernanda Alaniz stated: “There is evidence taken from Barrelier's phone that reveals what movements he made and where he went, and it also emerges from the same opening of the phone of the last detainee, Ludmila, that Marianela was looking for ways to clear the path for Barrelier even while already knowing.”
