Buenos Aires, December 22 (NA) – A decade has passed since the disappearance of Maximiliano Sosa, the three-year-old boy who was last seen on December 21, 2015, in the town of Ceres in Santa Fe. This is a national and international search that has left more questions than answers and the family's hope of seeing him again one day. That afternoon, the boy told his grandmother that he was going to play with a friend from the neighborhood, but since then his whereabouts are unknown. “To this day, I don't have a strong hypothesis,” he had stated in an interview with the media LN, to which the Argentine News Agency had access. With the start of the case, there were many doubts and just a month later the case went to the federal court based in Rafaela, but, so far, nothing has worked. For his mother, Daniela Sosa, Maxi was kidnapped and sold. “The truth is that I don't know what happened.” Additionally, she maintains that her mother, Patricia Sayago, who was with the minor that afternoon, and her partner, Ariel Reinaldo Malagueño, have something to do with the disappearance of the little boy. Both Sayago and Malagueño had been detained and even faced a trial for the crime of abduction of a person under 10 years of age, but were acquitted for lack of merit. In mid-2025, almost a decade after the case, the Supreme Court of Justice ordered that the search continue and established new measures. Judges Horacio Rosatti, Juan Carlos Maqueda, Carlos Rosenkrantz and Ricardo Lorenzetti reported that the “territorial spectrum must be expanded to establish if the minor could have been registered in provincial civil registries and to investigate the existence, from the date of disappearance, of a corpse belonging to a three-year-old child whose identity could be compatible with Maxi's”.
