Alegación de actos de tortura cometidos por agentes oficiales de una comisaria de
General Madariaga, en la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Según la información recibida, el
Señor Damián Alejandro Sepúlveda habría sido hallado muerto en su celda en una

autopsia por una institución distinta. Esta segunda autopsia habría encontrado evidencias
de múltiples lesiones en el cuerpo de Sepúlveda, incluyendo fracturas en sus costillas,
golpes en brazos y tórax, y severa lesión en el cuero cabelludo y cráneo.
