Néstor Zelaya, the director of the therapeutic community “La Razón de Vivir” in which the television host Marcelo “Teto” Medina worked, received this Thursday the benefit of house arrest in the case that is being investigated for labor exploitation and reduction to servitude in that establishment where young people with problematic consumption lived.
The measure that was confirmed to Télam by Mariano Biondi, lawyer of Néstor Zelaya, of “make effective the moderation of pre-trial detention” it also reaches Eduardo Zelaya, Jorge Luis Torchia, and Jorge Alberto Baslico.
Eduardo Zelaya held the role of director of the so-called “Quinta 1”; Torchia, director of “Quinta 2”, and Baslico, director of “Quinta 3”.
Biondi explained to Télam that “the two releases that the judge rejected” are being appealed in Chamber 2 of the Quilmes Penal Chamber.
“Those who were released had the accusation for the same facts, that is to say that there were no procedural dangers for any of the four detainees”he pointed.
The lawyer said that he requested house arrest “to be able to work more calmly” and assured that the judge issued it for the other three detainees who “had not asked for anything.”
At the end of September, Rubén Ernesto Durán, Rosana Elizabeth Gómez, Marcelo José Medina, Tatiana Lorena Lanza, Martín Ezequiel Arias, Alfredo Martín Córdoba, Fabiana Edith Canal, Valeria Fernanda Miceli, Damián Alberto Fernández Cáceres, Federico Risso Patrón and Sonia Elizabeth Córdoba were released. .
In that opportunity, the judge denied Zelaya and the other three detainees because “it could hinder the investigation, since there are still evidence to be produced that will allow the totality of the criminal event to be elucidated.”
Zelaya had been arrested along with 16 other people on September 22 in a series of raids in the city and province of Buenos Aires.
