The last thing Mirta Isabel Fleita (58) heard from her son,
César Emiliano Jaunarena (30)
, was that he was in Puerto Iguazú (Misiones) and that he was going to start working in some cabins.
She told him by WhatsApp message at the end of October last year.
Jaunarena, a changarín and artisan, used to backpack around the country.
On this occasion, he had gone to Misiones, where an aunt lived, a few weeks before his family had the last contact with him.
He planned to stay there until March 2023.
As of October 23, when he exchanged some messages with one of his two lawyers, all traces vanish until they become non-existent.
As far as Justice was able to find out, no one arrested him, nor was he treated at any hospital in the area.
He is not in prison nor was he registered in any morgue or left the country.
Now...
why does such a humble young man have two lawyers?
This question points directly to the center of the matter and makes the changarín stand out in the list of hundreds of missing persons that Justice is looking for.
In her particular case, the search began through a
habeas corpus
that was filed before federal judge No. 1 of San Isidro,
Sandra Arroyo Salgado
, on December 21, 2022. After her excuse and others that followed her , the file went to the federal court of Eldorado (Misiones) in charge of Judge Miguel Ángel Guerrero.
A first summary of who Jaunarena is to understand more.
On July 20, 2013, the house of
Sergio Massa and Malena Galmarini
in Tigre was broken into and a strange character, the former prefect
Alcides Díaz Gorgonio
, was arrested after 24 hours for the case , who was later sentenced to 18 years in prison. prison.
The man, with a past in the Intelligence area, had been filmed entering the place.

Jaunarena, who at that time worked at the Puerto de Frutos de Tigre, was taken by the Buenos Aires Police as a witness to the raid on Díaz Gorgonio's house on Florida Street at 1200 Rincón de Milberg.
But in 2014 the changarín ended up denouncing threats and serious irregularities
in the raid that splashed the police and also the current Minister of Economy.
Among other things, he maintained that
the money seized from Díaz Gorgonio was much more than that reported by the victim of the robbery
and that Tigre's Security Secretary, Diego Santillán, had entered the house on Florida Street with an empty bag that was took full.
His presence, moreover, is not recorded in the minutes.
Sergio Massa released the face of the detainee: Alcides Díaz Gorgonio, the weapon he used and the videos that show him entering the house and fleeing in his car.

The case had wide repercussions due to its protagonists and also because at that time Massa -former mayor of Tigre- was running for president.
In this context, what Jaunarena said hurt him directly.
Perhaps for this reason, everything ended as it ended: the changarín, his two lawyers and even the prosecutor of Pilar Washington Palacios - who had taken and investigated the complaint against Jaunarena in 2014 - were prosecuted for cover-up and false
testimony
.
In fact, the case against them continues, although it is on appeal.
They targeted Palacios with everything.
They even started a jury and dismissed him.
Everything was promoted by his boss, the then attorney general of San Isidro
Julio Novo
, and his right hand, the prosecutor for Complex Crimes
Claudio Scapolan
, who had taken the case of the robbery of Massa's house as his own.
It must be remembered that 10 years ago Novo sounded like Massa's Minister of Justice if he became president.
The stakes were high.
San Isidro's attorney general, Julio Novo, was suspended from his post and eventually resigned.
They accused him of covering up drug crimes.
In 10 years some things have changed: Novo had to resign his position and, with great delay, awaits trial for
covering up Colombian drug traffickers
.
For his part, on March 28, Scapolan will face a jury accused of
serious corruption charges
.
Only one member of the Jury for the Prosecution of Magistrates and Officials of the Province of Buenos Aires voted not to open the political trial of Scapolan: legislator Sofía Vannelli (Frente de Todos), a reference to massismo.
In this context, the denunciation of the Jaunarena family is
a lit match in a powder keg
.

Habeas corpus
"My son always traveled, but he has always kept in touch with us. Sometimes every week or more days. But he was always in contact. Sometimes he told me that he had not communicated before because he had no signal," he declared in the case opened by the habeas corpus Mirta Isabel Fleita.
"He had a Facebook and he was posting photos, he spoke on that network with many friends and now he stopped doing it. I consulted several and they told me that they did not know anything else. This causes me great anguish. More than 15
never
happened days without writing", said the woman on December 26, in a remote hearing with the Eldorado court.
César Emiliano Jaunarena (30), key witness in the robbery of Sergio Massa's house, which occurred in Tigre, in 2013.
To try to locate him, the family provided photos and some distinctive features such as
a tattoo on his right leg
with the letters CJS (because he is a fan of the Callejeros group) and the fact that his two front teeth are split in a triangle.
Before the habeas corpus, Judge Guerrero requested all kinds of reports: from Migration, local police forces and federal security forces, hospitals in the area, the Ministry of National Security, telephone companies...
So far
no one has provided a firm lead
.
There are two suspicious communications post October 23 that are being analyzed and the judge is waiting for the report from the Directorate of Judicial Assistance in Complex Crimes and Organized Crime of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (DAJuDeCO), who was asked for reports on various phone traces.
The prefect who stole Massa.
While Justice investigates, for Jaunarena's family
everything is uncertainty
.
His Facebook profile was frozen on October 19, 2022. Just a few days before, he posted a special meme: in a photo, actor Tom Hanks is seen playing Gepetto, who is crouching down talking to Pinocchio.
The detail: Pinocchio has the face of Sergio Massa.
