Gustavo Penadés after he was reported for crimes of abuse and exploitation of minors; in which he pointed out to the prosecutor Alicia Ghione as a “friend” and talked about putting pressure on the Attorney General Juan Gomez.
He Penadés case keep hitting the National Party despite the fact that the former senator is no longer a member of the party: now, messages from Iturralde were known, with the then head of the white bench in the Senate about the eventual benefit that could mean that prosecutor Ghione had been appointed in the case, at the end of March last year. The context of that moment contained the recent complaint of the militant Romina Celeste Papasso against Penades; and the content of the messages, as reported by the weekly Busqueda, referred to the prosecutors who went through the investigation.
Given the development of the events and the important impact that the news had, Iturralde finally decided to step aside from his position in the National Party. “By virtue of the disclosure of a private and personal conversation and in order not to compromise my colleagues, nor the institutional functioning of my party, I have made the decision to resign from my position as President of the Board of Directors of the National Partyl”, Iturralde communicated through social networks.
The chats of Iturralde and Penadés
The first controversial exchange between Iturralde and Penadés was on March 30, 2023, and featured the prosecutor Mariana Alfaro, the first assigned in charge of the case by the department of Purification, Prioritization and Assignment of the Prosecutor’s Office. “This is a great HDP. It was the one that requested the raid on Blue for rape issue and it is with issue Ocean. I shot him to death today and he shit. “He understood the msg (sic),” Iturralde wrote to who was then one of the referents of the National Party.

She just called me. She asked me for your number,” Iturralde wrote to Penadés on March 31. “She is totally trustworthy. Great guy,” he added.
The president of National Party He also targeted the Attorney General Juan Gomez, and indicated that “he clearly understood the references to the Prosecutor’s Office in my statements.” “He’s a big shit and he knows very well that Alicia is ours because I talked to her a thousand times.
