The trial over the disappearance of Loan Danilo Peña begins this Tuesday in the province of Corrientes, two years after his disappearance shocked the country.

The proceedings will involve 17 defendants, 186 witnesses, and a voluminous case file.

However, the boy’s whereabouts remain unknown, and there is no established theory to explain his disappearance.

The court will review the facts of the case and the accusations against each defendant.

Prosecutor Tamara Pourcel was emphatic: “We hope that one of them will break,” she said about the accused, who remain in pretrial detention.
