This Thursday the oral trial against Uriel Luciano begins at the Rosario Criminal Justice Center “I fight” Canterodesignated as a leader of the new generation of the Los Monos band.
At 21 years old, Cantero faces charges of public intimidation and possession of weapons, crimes that are part of an investigation that began in 2021 and included multiple raids and the seizure of 25 pistols of various calibers, ammunition and vehicles.
Among the incriminating elements that will be debated in the trial is his participation in the controversial 2021 Christmas reception in the 17 de Agosto neighborhood. In a viral video, Cantero appears firing a rifle from a terrace, the same night that a patrol car was attacked with more than 60 bullets in that area.
The prosecution will also present evidence related to a photo from 2021, in which Lucho appears alongside the ragpicker Zaramay and other men carrying weapons of war, an image that motivated a case for public intimidation.
During the raids that led to his arrest in January 2022, carried out in Rosario and Roldán, the Criminal Investigation Agency seized, in addition to weapons, around 3 million pesos, dollars, euros, five cars and eight motorcycles.
Lorena Verdún, Cantero’s mother and partner of the deceased Claudio “Pájaro” Cantero, was also arrested in this case, who agreed to be the head of an illicit association and was sentenced to 13 years in prison.
Lucho Cantero, who already has a two-year federal sentence for possession of marijuana, will be represented by lawyer Lionel Iésari in this trial, where his criminal future will be decided for the crimes he is accused of.
