Extensive Search Efforts Underway
The father involved is Andrés Morosini Rechoppa, 28. Police reports confirm he entered his ex-partner’s home in Mercedes on Wednesday. He then forcibly removed his two children. Morosini Rechoppa is wanted by police in connection with a gender violence case. He also had a court order against him, preventing him from approaching his family.
The search for the father and children began on Wednesday. By Thursday, police launched a large operation. Ground patrols were sent out, and a helicopter from the Aviation Directorate joined the search. The aircraft took off from Paysandú at 8 AM. Video surveillance footage shows Morosini Rechoppa escaping in the red BYD F0 car, license plate KPA 1970, crossing into the RÃo Negro region. The police search started in Soriano and has since grown to include the regions of RÃo Negro and Paysandú.
The Ministry of Interior strongly urges everyone to assist with the investigation. Please provide any details that could help locate the suspect. You can reach the emergency service at 911 or visit the closest police station.
