"La Toretto" remains under house arrest, but is one step away from trial for homicide

Felicitas Alvite, known as "La Toretto," is facing trial for the homicide of motorcyclist Rubén Armand, with court dates set for November.

Felicitas Alvite, an influencer known as "La Toretto," is facing a serious legal challenge as she prepares for a homicide trial stemming from an incident that occurred while she allegedly participated in an illegal street race. The victim, Rubén Walter Armand, was tragically killed when he was struck by Alvite’s vehicle. The court dates for the oral debate have been scheduled for November 2, 3, and 6, during which Alvite will respond to charges of simple homicide with eventual intent, a serious offense that carries a potential prison sentence of 8 to 25 years.

During a recent court hearing, Alvite's attorney, Flavio Gliemmo, requested additional evidence to be presented, highlighting ongoing efforts to prepare a robust defense for his client. The legal proceedings underscore the increasing scrutiny of street racing culture in Argentina, especially as it relates to notable public figures who participate in such activities, raising awareness around the potential dangers associated with reckless driving.

This case not only has personal implications for Alvite and the family of the victim but also poses broader questions about accountability and the role of social media influencers in promoting or engaging in dangerous behaviors. As the trial approaches, it will likely draw significant public attention, serving as a focal point for discussions regarding legal responsibilities in connection to social influence and motorsport safety, particularly in urban settings where illegal racing is prevalent.
