In Tucumán, Argentina, Judge Marcos Javier Núñez Campero has ordered the preventive detention of two individuals accused of the brutal beating of 19-year-old Patricio Ledesma. The incident occurred on the night of January 29, 2026, outside a nightclub in the city of Tafí del Valle. The accused, Máximo César Carreras and Santiago Bagne, were charged with the crime of grievous bodily injury with aggravating circumstances. The judge rejected the defense's motion to nullify the proceedings. He also denied house arrest, citing that the legal requirements were not met. As a coercive measure, he ordered one month of pretrial detention in a provincial prison.
