The reasons behind Fernando Burlando's departure from the Morena Rial case

It was revealed that the high-profile lawyer resigned from the defense of Jorge Rial's daughter and that she is at risk of going to jail.

According to reports on DDM (América) this afternoon, Fernando Burlando is stepping away from the defense of Morena Rial and will be replaced by Miguel Ángel Pierri, the lawyer closely associated with host Jorge Rial.

A few days ago, Burlando was asked his opinion on Morena Rial's nightlife outings amid her legal situation of being part of a criminal gang, and the lawyer had said that due to her release, the influencer could go out at night.

"She has other types of obligations and those obligations, obviously, are really being fulfilled and will be fulfilled by Morena, because obviously, her goal is to continue with this provisional freedom situation," Burlando had said.

Burlando's resignation and the risk of returning to prison

The legal outlook for Morena Rial becomes complicated with Burlando's resignation. The news caused a great stir and left Jorge Rial's daughter in a delicate judicial situation.

Guido Záffora revealed on DDM that Burlando decided to step aside after fulfilling his role in Morena's defense. "Fernando Burlando has just left the case. He did everything necessary at Jorge's request, achieved the release, and now has withdrawn from the case," the journalist explained.

Meanwhile, Alejandro Cipolla, former lawyer and friend of Morena, stated that he could not intervene again, although he confirmed that Miguel Ángel Pierri will take over the defense.

It was reported that Morena submitted a document to the Justice in which she blamed Burlando for not attending the assessments or psychological treatment, citing communication problems.

The Prosecution requests her detention

Prosecutor Patricio Ferrari requested the detention of Morena Rial after she failed to comply with the conditions imposed by the judge. She did not attend the psychological and psychiatric assessments, did not start the mandatory treatment, and did not appear every 15 days before the Justice, as required.

"The judge has already warned the prosecutor that if he requested the detention, it would be granted. Ferrari has already made the formal request, so if the judge decides to revoke the extraordinary release, Morena could be detained in the coming hours," judicial sources indicated.

The legal future of Morena Rial is uncertain, and her return to prison seems increasingly likely.
