The Argentine justice system has added the auxiliary vicar of Opus Dei, the organizations second in command, Monsignor Mariano Fazio, as a defendant in the case involving the alleged human trafficking and the reduction to servitude of 43 women in Argentina.
The case, which was formally filed in 2024 but had been reported in the media several years earlier, accuses Opus Dei authorities of allegedly recruiting 43 women while they were still minors and subjecting them to a regime of semi-slavery in their residences.
Until now, the defendants were four priests who served as authorities at different times between 1991 and 2015: Carlos Nannei, Patricio Olmos, and Víctor Urrestarazu, former vicars of Opus Dei in Argentina, and the former director of the womens branch in the country, Gabriel Dondo.
The case now includes another defendant: Fazio, currently auxiliary vicar of the Prelature of the Holy Cross, the second-highest authority in Opus Dei worldwide. The Argentine Prosecutors Office Against Human Trafficking and the National Prosecutors Office in Criminal and Federal Correctional Affairs No. 3 are requesting that he appear to testify.
