    Punta Tombo penguin massacre trial begins

    The prosecution seeks 4 years in jail for La Regina

    The trial against Argentine Patagonian rancher Luis Alberto La Regina started this week in the city of Comodoro Rivadavia in the province of Chubut. He is prosecuted for the destruction of 175 nests, with an average of two eggs per nest, in addition to crushing chicks and adult animals in a natural sanctuary to open a rural road in what became known as the Punta Tombo Massacre. The defendant was denounced by his nephew back in 2021.
