Overview
- Casación’s Sala II, which on Tuesday declared the defense’s complaint inadmissible, left earlier refusals to void the case in place and allowed the investigation to continue.
- The judges Guillermo Yacobucci and Alejandro Slokar said prior steps met Argentina’s duties under gender‑rights treaties, citing CEDAW and the Belém do Pará convention.
- Hours after the ruling, Alberto Fernández asked the Federal Court of Appeals to return the file to square one and personally argued his case before judges Martín Irurzun, Eduardo Farah and Roberto Boico.
- Fernández’s lawyers contest key evidence drawn from a phone examined in a separate “Seguros” case, calling the search a fishing expedition and noting Casación recently threw out his processing order there.
- Judge Daniel Rafecas had already rejected several nullity motions and closed parts of the inquiry, and the appeals court must now decide whether to accept or dismiss the new challenge that could shape what evidence is tested next.
