Court Denies House Arrest for Ex-Surgeon Aníbal Lotocki

Judges ruled the request was moot after his daughter returned to her mother's care.

Overview

  • He will remain detained at the Federal Penitentiary Complex I in Ezeiza under preventive custody.
  • The tribunal declared the petition abstract based on Civil Court No. 92 reporting that the minor now lives with her mother and the custody file was archived.
  • Magistrates found his reported health conditions can be treated inside the prison and cited procedural risks in rejecting home detention.
  • He has been held since October 2023 in a homicide investigation into the 2021 death of Rodolfo Christian Zárate following cosmetic surgery.
  • He also carries a firm eight-year sentence for serious injuries and fraud, plus a ten-year ban from medical practice linked to improper PMMA use on several patients.
