[FansBlowing]

Federal Judge Cristina Pozzer Penzo rejected the request of the Government of Corrientes to be a plaintiff in the case investigating the disappearance of Loan Danilo Peña and summoned the two Corrientes prosecutors who began the investigation to testify. The judge will ask Juan Carlos Castillo and Guillermo Barry to explain why they changed the case from disappearance to recruitment.

The judge also called journalist Alejandro Puebla to testify, who gave his version of what he believes happened to the child in a controversial video that he published on social media. What Pozzer Penzo is looking for in the presentation is for the journalist to “contribute his knowledge of the facts being processed.”

Caso Loan: citan a declarar a primeros fiscales y a un periodista

La citación quedó plasmada en la misma resolución en la que jueza federal de Goya, Cristina Pozzer Penzo, rechazó que la provincia de Corrientes se convierta en querellante en la causa.

Unless there is some evidence that we don't know about, the only one the judge can clearly prosecute for lying is Laudelina. There is not enough evidence to convict anyone? We still don't know what happened to Loan...

On the day Loan disappeared, grandmother Catalina received a call from Buenos Aires. The specialists who examined Loan's grandmother's cell phone indicated that it had 31 contacts saved in it and that 166 calls were made during the day of the boy's disappearance and the following hours. In addition, as reported by Mediodía Noticias, it was determined that hours after the disappearance of her grandson, she received a call from Buenos Aires, from an unknown number. The call lasted more than 9 minutes. Now, the courts are examining this communication, especially since it was found that she also deleted 34 calls from his cell phone.

Mariano Peña, Loan's older brother, who had traveled to Buenos Aires with his father to lead the march called for this Thursday at the Obelisco to demand the appearance of the child, became ill during his meeting with the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich. The young man suffered a peak of stress and could not accompany his father to the mobilization in the center of Buenos Aires. Jose came alone. He did not come with his son. Mariano is not there, because in the meeting at the Ministry of Security with Patricia Bullrich he became ill and had to be treated by an ambulance that took him to the Argerich (Hospital),” the TN reporter began explaining.

Loan Peña's brother spoke about his grandmother Catalina, who this week came under scrutiny after it was discovered that she had deleted calls from her phone the day her grandson disappeared.

---

In a conversation with De Una Con Niembro on Radio Colonia, the young man referred to his grandmother's involvement this past week after the results of the tests on his cell phone and said: "Many times I wanted to clarify that, that I trust her, but I'm not going to defend her either because this is something very delicate."

---

In this context, Mariano emphasized that he believes it was his aunt Laudelina who deleted the calls on Catalina's phone the day Loan disappeared : "I think it was her who used the cell phone," and even pointed out that perhaps "it was incorrectly configured with respect to the time the calls were made."

The courts have decided to seize the cell phone of César Peña, Loan's older brother, who recently declared that his aunt Laudelina is responsible for his brother's disappearance. This discovery has led to César being summoned to testify at the 9 de Julio prosecutor's office, since compromising conversations with Laudelina's youngest daughter were found on his phone.

---

The missing child's grandmother, Catalina, has provided information that could change the course of the investigation. In an interview with A24, Catalina claimed that three individuals, supposedly lawyers, pressured her to declare that Loan's disappearance was an accident. "They came to tell me that I should also say that he died in an accident. That the van ran over him and killed him, and it was a lie. Three of them came," Catalina firmly stated.

---

In an unexpected turn of events, federal prosecutor Mariano de Guzmán has ordered a cross-referencing of calls between the phones of several people involved, including Loan's aunt, Laudelina Peña; her daughter Macarena; her lawyer José Codazzi; provincial senator Diego Pellegrini; and another unidentified official. This measure seeks to unravel the communications network that could clarify Loan's whereabouts.

Rafael Palacios, an analyst on the case, pointed out the inconsistencies in Catalina's accounts. "At some point she was going to step on me," he said, alluding to the contradictions in her testimony. Catalina's recent revelation about deleting 34 calls from her cell phone has added a new layer of mystery. According to Catalina, her daughter Laudelina was the one who deleted the calls. " She did it because the memory fills up and the calls don't come through. I answered, but nothing else. I have to dial the numbers," she explained, referring to her Samsung GSM GT model device.

So, still no clarity, just getting muddier by the day. Seems the judge has nothing substantial on the detained suspects and is now questioning everyone.

Wouldn't be surprised if she releases some if not all of them at this point.

Loan case: it was confirmed that the minor in the photo that went viral in Colombia is not the one​

The examination of the image revealed that it is a two-year-old child, which is why it is not possible that it is Loan since he is five. In addition, the Colombian police confirmed that it was another child.

Loan case: the details of the Gesell Chamber and who is the mysterious "hooded"​

Four minors who were present in the woods the day Loan Danilo Peña disappeared in the Corrientes town of 9 de Julio participated this Monday in a Gesell Chamber. One of the minors would have agreed with the information of the "hooded man" who took the 5-year-old boy, a hypothesis that had been raised since the first days of the search.

---

On June 13, the same day Loan disappeared, suspicions arose about a friend of Antonio Benítez , the boy's uncle and currently detained in the case. This individual is pointed out as the possible kidnapper , although the involvement of a second person is not ruled out. Investigators believe that the minor was taken from the scene on horseback, which has renewed attention to this lead.

Jose and Maria (Loan's parents) are testifying today. This is what the reporter from the courthouse said. Bear in mind this is translated using youtube's auto-translate so not all of it will make sense, but it's pretty easy to read between the lines. The italics in brackets have been added by me, just so parts of it are a bit clearer.

---

REPORTER - When the statement begins, she (Maria) starts already angry, talking to the judge, telling 'why I am here, why are you summoning me again to testify? You are the ones who have to give me an answer. I would have to be in my house, would have to wait for them to bring my son' (note: this is the first time they have testified before the judge, they gave statements to the provincial prosecutor, when Loan first disappeared). That was exactly what happened at some point, he (she) starts crying... (reporter is distracted by an accident on the street, nothing to do with Loan..) they begin to cry, she composes herself, she begins to tell what they are asking her and at one point she begins to talk about something that she remembers after a sister or a relative of hers tells her - do you remember what happened 6 years ago? months (reading further on in the report I believe this happened 6 months ago not 6 years) and what he (she) recounts before the judge is an argument between Benitez and Laudelina where they were talking about a family intern and where they said 'stay calm, we are going to hit him where they hurt the most'. That made him (her) start crying again, when he (she) was telling everything about that circumstance. They decompensate, that's where they call the doctors who are here in the ambulance (the ambulance was already parked outside, in the event that Maria may break down) they enter the place, they saw that episode that we saw that Jose came out who came back in and does... and a few minutes ago they called again, they ran out and they called again for the doctors to come in because the one who is breaking down now is Jose. The two of them assisted with the doctors, in theory. Maria is once again taking up the testimony and telling about this internal family situation that involves this thirst for revenge on the part of Benitez and Laudelina regarding the family.

REPORTER - From what we were able to find out, up to this point, it speaks of a family intern between families, between Jose's family, that is, Maria, Jose, his brothers and Laudelina Benitez. On the other hand, I understand that part of it has to with it, but that's why I don't want to give more details due to issues of land gained and those types of circumstances that are obviously that place where Catalina lives because that is a specific place in question and also at this point in the circumstance we know that that lunch at some point was also related to those lands.
