Loan trial: defense requested the removal of the presiding judge due to "fear of bias"

In the ongoing legal proceedings concerning the disappearance of Loan Danilo Peña, the defense counsel for one of the accused has formally requested the removal of Judge Fermín Amado Ceroleni from the presiding tribunal. The motion cites a "fear of partiality," with the defense arguing that there are objective grounds to question the judge's neutrality in the case.

This recusal request represents a significant procedural challenge in the high-profile investigation. By seeking the judge's removal, the defense aims to alter the composition of the court, potentially impacting the trajectory and management of the judicial process surrounding the child's disappearance.
