Romina Celeste Papasso will be transferred to the Juan Soler prison in San José, they confirmed to The Observer sources familiar with the case.
As they added, Papasso asked to be transferred to a men’s prison. The fate of Juan Soler had been announced in the last few hours by journalist Gabriel Pereyra on his Twitter account.
Papasso’s transfer to a prison had been ordered after he was discharged from a psychiatric clinic private to which she had been admitted after a nervous breakdown.
She remained there for several weeks, until the Forensic Technical Institute performed an examination to determine her condition and whether she was fit to be transferred to prison.
The results of said study indicated that Papasso has a “personality dysfunction“, but not “depressive” symptoms that indicate he cannot go to prison.
Before being transferred to a prison, when a Court of Appeals reviewed the first instance judicial measure and determined that she be transferred to a center of the National Rehabilitation Institute (INR), Papasso expressed a desire to commit suicide.
This was after being charged with criminal association, slander and defamation and sentenced to 90 days of preventive detention.
