Five-year-old Loan Danilo Peña disappeared on June 13, 2024, near 9 de Julio, Corrientes province, after a family lunch at his grandmother’s home. The case sparked widespread public concern and triggered an extensive search involving over 500 people, police, gendarmerie, and the military, using drones and dogs. Seven individuals were identified as main suspects, including relatives and associates of the family, with some accused of obstructing the investigation. Evidence suggests Loan was taken captive near a nearby orange grove, and the case evolved from 'abandonment' to 'kidnapping for trafficking,' though this was later dismissed by authorities. The charges now focus on 'abduction, retention, or concealment of minors,' a non-prescriptive crime carrying 5–15 years in prison. Seventeen individuals face trial, but legal time limits threaten to hinder prosecution. Ten additional people linked to the Fundación Lucio Dupuy and the 'Hotel Gang' face charges of covering up, illegal detention, false testimony, fraud, title forgery, drug distribution, resisting authority, and breaching professional secrecy.
