Luciano Arruga: 10 years of impunity, without damned by his disappearance and death “Luciano refused to steal for the police and that generated a series of systematic and violent arrests which ended with his disappearance followed by death”, denounces Vanesa Orieta in dialogue with Filo.News on October 17, 2014, five years and eight months after his disappearance, found the body of Luciano Arruga. The teenager had been hit in the General Paz the same morning that was last seen in his neighborhood. A vehicle rammed to the 3.21 as he ran “desperate, as if he were running from something”, said the man who was driving the car to justice. Wounded he was taken to the Santojanni Hospital where he died, and then they moved his body to the Judicial Morgue where he remained as NN until he was buried in the cemetery of Chacarita, because – they said – no one had claimed it. The truth is that their families, as soon as they started the search, toured several police stations and hospitals and had been in the Santojanni where asked by Luciano and answered them that it was not there.
“Childhood and adolescence is not dangerous, is in danger,” warns the sister of Luciano.

Something serious such as a disappearance in democracy was investigated as “investigation of whereabouts”, as the first cover that assigned to the case the Buenos Aires justice. And only in 2013, going to the federal courts, the cause is recaratuló as “enforced disappearance”. To 10 years the case remains unpunished, without material, political or judicial officials condemned the forced disappearance of Luciano Arruga, his family continues to demand justice.
