Overview
- Argentina’s Cámara Federal de Apelaciones de Tucumán revoked the extension of preventive detention in the Catamarca federal case and granted excarceration to Edgar Adhemar Bacchiani.
- Despite the ruling, Bacchiani remains imprisoned because of his separate conviction for fraud handed down by a Córdoba court earlier this year.
- The same appeals court ordered the release of José Blas and Alexis Sarroca, identified in filings as close collaborators, after more than three years of detention without trial.
- A February courtroom visualization using Cointracker by former company accountant Iván Segovia showed an Adhemar Capital wallet held millions in December 2021 but was emptied by February 2022, prompting deeper fund‑tracing steps and potential bankruptcy‑fraud scrutiny.
- Defense lawyer Ezequiel Walther says prison searches never found an internet‑enabled phone for Bacchiani and claims stolen credentials led to wallet movements he attributes to Blas and Sarroca.
