Overview
- The Cámara Federal de Casación Penal ordered Claudio Uberti placed under house arrest with an immediate electronic ankle monitor, a decision issued on Tuesday, July 7, 2026.
- Judges Guillermo Yacobucci and Ángela Ledesma formed the majority and Alejandro Slokar registered a partial dissent in the Sala II ruling.
- The court relied on medical and psychological reports that documented severe physical and mental deterioration, including a collapse that required ambulance transfer and new metabolic and psychiatric problems.
- Fiscal General Mario Alberto Villar backed the request, arguing the prison hospital at Ezeiza could not adequately treat Uberti and that his status as a cooperating witness exposed him to credible threats in custody.
- The ruling preserves Uberti’s role as an imputado colaborador and his existing convictions, including the four-and-a-half year sentence for the Antonini Wilson suitcase case, while shifting supervision to electronic monitoring and continued judicial control.
