The case investigating the alleged kidnapping of Loan Danilo Peña, the five-year-old boy who disappeared last June 13 in Corrientes, added a new chapter in the last hours. Carlos Pérez, the man from San Juan who is one of the six detainees in the case, wanted to commit suicide at the police station where he is housed.
As police sources confirmed to TN journalist Paula Bernini, former Navy captain Carlos Pérez tried to hang himself this Sunday with a shoelace at the sixth police station in Goya, where the Attorney General’s Office is located.
“If I fall, I will not fall alone,” Pérez said last Friday when he was arrested.along with his wife and former municipal employee María Victoria Caillava and Commissioner Walter Maciel, shortly after the opening of a federal investigation was announced, which also includes a possible case of trafficking.
Before attempting to hang himself, the former ship captain had asked to testify in exchange for a shortened trial. This Monday he is expected to be questioned again.
The disappearance of Loan in Corrientes
11 days after Loan’s mysterious disappearance, Justice is advancing the hypothesis that the boy was illegally appropriated and transferred to the province of Chaco. It would be a sinister plot, which could be related to human trafficking, in which a false family reunion was set up and alibis were planted to cover those responsible.
For investigators, after lunch at the boy’s grandmother’s house, six boys, including Loan, were taken to an orange grove with three adults, an uncle of the boy, Bernardino Benítez, Daniel “Fierrito” Ramírez and the second’s wife. , María del Carmen Millapi.
Always in accordance with that hypothesis, while the boys were playing in the orangery, Loan was separated from the rest and taken back to the house. The then municipal official María Victoria Caillava and her husband, Carlos Pérez, were waiting for them there, who participated in the lunch and had left with the excuse of going to see the River game.
Immediately, Loan was loaded into the couple’s white Ford Ranger truck and taken to the town, where he was transferred to a red Ford Ka in which it is suspected that he was taken to Resistencia, Chaco.
Some of the alibis that are pointed out are that Ramírez sent an audio to his brother announcing Loan’s disappearance and he arranged for it to be disseminated, showing concern. Meanwhile, Caillava and Pérez asked permission from the local commissioner, Walter Maciel, to go to Resistencia, to visit a daughter who is studying in the capital of Chaco, while upon returning they stayed at Loan’s grandmother’s house.
Always according to what is unofficially suspected, Pérez, a man who is a former member of the Navy, would be pointed out as the one who planned the appropriation of the boy.
