The arrest was achieved after the order issued by the provincial Legislature, and in the last few hours, his transfer to the Las Flores prison was completed. The Legislature of Santa Fe resolved to suspend Benegas provisionally after the case against him became known. He is accused of sexual abuse with penetration and the promotion of corruption of a minor, to the detriment of a subordinate's daughter. In the Chamber of Deputies and Deputies of Santa Fe, it was established «the temporary preventive suspension of his functions with a 50% reduction in salary in the position of Adjunct Prosecutor of the Public Ministry of Accusation of the fourth Judicial Circuit, for the duration of the disciplinary procedure and until its total completion, with an express prohibition of entering the physical premises of any dependency of the Public Ministry of Accusation of the Province of Santa Fe». This measure left the prosecutor without institutional protection, so on Friday, Justice advanced with his preventive detention and subsequent arrest. Initially, he was hospitalized for a pathology he suffers from, until this Saturday he was transferred to the Penitentiary Unit No. 2 of Las Flores. During the hearing held this weekend, family members and acquaintances of the prosecutor marched in front of the Vera Courts to demand his immediate release and for the «false complaints» to end. According to the accusation, the events would have occurred between 2008 and 2009 when Benegas was serving as the direct supervisor of the victim's father. Benegas's defense maintains that the cases his client is accused of have already prescribed, so the investigation should not continue. For now, the authorities have not resolved the motion.
