The prisoner who defrauded two San Isidro judges is about to go on trial .

A 26-year-old man named Gabriel Giménez, currently imprisoned at Magdalena Prison, is set to face trial for scamming two judges from the San Isidro Court of Appeals and Guarantees. The victims were judges Juan Eduardo Stepaniuc and Luis Cayuela. The fraud involved impersonating a private courier employee and tricking the judges into sharing verification codes via WhatsApp, allowing the perpetrator to access their contacts and request money. Judge Cayuela fell victim first on February 19, while Judge Stepaniuc was targeted on February 26 but managed to avoid falling for the scam after being warned by his colleague. The investigation revealed that the scheme originated from within the prison, leading to a search operation at Magdalena Prison to dismantle the fraudulent 'call center.' Prosecutors have presented evidence suggesting Giménez actively participated in these crimes.
