Gypsy accused of defrauding hairdresser who later died arrested in Argentina

Marta Noemí Mitrovich, 72, identified as 'La Paraka', has been apprehended in Salta, Argentina, after being sought since January. She faces accusations of defrauding a hairdresser, Merlín Díaz Silva, of 14 million pesos, an act that reportedly preceded the victim's suicide.

Mitrovich was reportedly conducting "spiritual work" in Salta at the time of her arrest. Adding to the complexity of the case, she had managed to obtain an Argentine national identity document (DNI) at the Renaper agency in May, even while she was a fugitive. This detail raises questions about how she evaded detection during the administrative process.

The case involves serious allegations of financial fraud and its tragic aftermath. The arrest of Mitrovich marks a significant development in the investigation, bringing a key figure in the alleged scheme into custody. The investigation is expected to continue to uncover the full extent of the fraud and the circumstances surrounding the victim's death.
