Argentine Court Unifies Drug Case, Orders House Arrest for Mother Who Gave Cocaine to 4-Year-Old

Judges in Posadas set a seven-year sentence to be served at home with electronic monitoring to prioritize the care of her two other children.

Overview

  • The Federal Oral Criminal Court of Posadas issued a single seven-year sentence after convicting Antonia Gisel Alves de Olivera of supplying cocaine to her four-year-old and merging it with a prior trafficking term.
  • Laboratory toxicology from the judicial file confirmed cocaine in the child’s urine, corroborating the case resolved through a Juicio Abreviado in October 2025.
  • The defendant acknowledged in the court record that she had washed the child’s tooth with a white substance she found, which the testing linked to cocaine exposure.
  • The unified sentence aggregates the new conviction for supplying drugs to a minor with an earlier six-year aggravated trafficking conviction involving multiple participants.
  • Citing the best interests of her dependent children, ages 10 and 11, the court ordered the term served as house arrest in Posadas under electronic monitoring.
