Buenos Aires, March 1 (NA) – Laudelina Peña, Loan's aunt, is one of the key figures in the case of the boy's disappearance in Corrientes. At the beginning of the investigation, her name resonated due to a strange complaint she made, followed by her repentance, which led her to prison. In this sense, Ernesto González, lawyer for Carlos Pérez and María Victoria Caillava, referred in dialogue with the Argentine News Agency to the woman's accusation against his clients for an accident. Fifteen days after Loan's disappearance, a period during which the case moved from provincial to federal jurisdiction, Laudelina was accompanied by her teenage daughter, Senator Diego Martín Pellegrini, and lawyer José Codazzi to the city of Corrientes to testify before Prosecutor Gustavo Roubineau, even though it was not within the jurisdiction. Before the prosecutor, she stated that on June 13, the day the boy disappeared, the couple ran over Loan with their pickup truck and then ordered him to be buried to hide the fact. This accusation caused the investigation to make a 180-degree turn, and both Pérez and Caillava came to play a fundamental role in the case: 'Here there were two incompatibilities. First, the intervention of a person who had no interference that interfered in the case, and second, that they took a person to another jurisdiction,' González explained.

The defender pointed out that throughout this entire process things were done wrong 'because a person with no connection transferred a person from one jurisdiction to another, the jurisdiction was changed, and on top of that, in Corrientes there is no way for a prosecutor to attend to a complainant at midnight as happened on this occasion.' 'All that situation, I am not saying that it complicated my clients, because their situation remains the same, but yes the course of the case due to the 15 days where the accident was the main focus,' he remarked. González maintains that there was no accident in this case, and that this was proven: 'A not insignificant fact is that later Laudelina recognized that there was no accident, but that they offered her money, a house and pressured her.' The lawyer explained that, in addition to the aunt's second testimony, the more than three expert reports carried out on the vehicles demonstrate that said accident did not exist: 'The first expert report done on the vehicles is the one with dogs, and that was positive, but all other tests with luminol and the accidentological revealed nothing.' 'Pérez and Caillava were given the role of the villains in the movie, and that is the reality,' he concluded.
