Ángel López's mother asked to use social media from prison: why she and her partner will remain incarcerated

The Justice system of Comodoro Rivadavia has resolved to maintain pretrial detention for an additional six months for Mariela Altamirano, the mother of four-year-old Ángel Nicolás López, and her partner, Michel González. The two remain imprisoned as suspects in the alleged murder of the child. The ruling follows a legal request by Altamirano, who had asked for permission to use social media from inside prison.

Separately, in an unrelated operation reported by the same news wire, the National Police of Peru (PNP) dismantled an alleged criminal network known as 'Al Qaeda'. This organization was accused of extorting daily protection fees from public transport operators along routes between Callao and the Cercado de Lima, with investigations indicating the group was comprised of both Peruvian and Venezuelan citizens.
