Overview
- The Tribunal Oral Federal 2 rejected the defense's bid on Friday to remove the ankle monitor, lift the special visitation regime, and eliminate limits on terrace use.
- The judge said electronic monitoring is the statutory rule for people serving house arrest and cited rulings from the Cámara Federal de Casación Penal and the Supreme Court to support keeping the device in place.
- Defense lawyers Carlos Beraldi and Ary Llernovoy argued that sustained compliance and no flight risk justify loosening restrictions, but the court ruled that compliance alone does not count as a new circumstance for change.
- The court kept the terrace and visit limits in force, allowing one daily terrace access between 06:00 and 20:00 for up to two hours and maintaining the existing controlled-visit regime to protect neighbors' peaceful coexistence.
- The ruling declined additional measures linked to supporter demonstrations because prosecutors did not show evidence that the former president breached the execution regime, and it preserves the supervised house arrest she has served since June 2025.
