Two men who had been arrested for posting messages mocking former Jujuy governor Gerardo Morales and his wife, Tulia Snopek, were freed on Monday after spending 54 days in pretrial detention. Rumors surrounding this supposed affair have been circulating online and in local news outlets since the beginning of the year. The story originated after musician Mauro Coletti, a member of the Argentine folk group Los Tekis, had a car accident on October 6. That’s when Villegas and Morandini posted about it on their X accounts, as did dozens of other users. Villegas and Morandini’s friends and family were waiting for them when they left the jail in San Salvador on Monday night.
