The investigating prosecutor Raúl Garzón formalized the request to send to trial the case for the murder of Agostina Madeleine Vega, the 14-year-old girl found dead in May in the city of Córdoba. The investigations incorporated into the judicial file allowed for the main charge against Claudio Gabriel Barrelier, 34, as the material author of the act. Additionally, the resolution from the Public Prosecutor's Office includes 5 other accused for personal favoring actions carried out after the commission of the criminal act.
The legal figure charged against Claudio Gabriel Barrelier corresponds to triple qualified homicide, contemplating the aggravating factors of premeditation, criminis causa, and gender violence. The intervening prosecutor specified that this classification includes the application of a life sentence in case the court issues a firm conviction. Regarding the other 5 involved, including the partner of the main suspect, the prosecution determined that they took actions aimed at facilitating the impunity of the aggressor.
The judicial reconstruction of the crime was based on technical evidence, findings of genetic material, and expert reports collected at the crime scene by investigators. The evidence corroborated a prior scheme based on deception and seductive invitations to the victim before the fatal aggression occurred inside Barrelier's home. Simultaneously, the prosecution ordered the elevation to trial of a second criminal file originating in May 2025 that involves the same main accused.
