Criminal Cassation Court Denies House Arrest for Julio De Vido in Split Ruling

The court said medical evaluations show his condition can be managed in custody.

Overview

  • Judges Guillermo Yacobucci and Javier Carbajo formed the majority to reject the request, while Mariano Borinsky dissented in favor of granting home confinement.
  • The panel acted during the judicial recess through its sala de feria due to the petition’s urgency related to health and liberty.
  • Reports from the Cuerpo Médico Forense and the Federal Penitentiary Service found De Vido clinically compensated and treatable within Ezeiza prison.
  • The ruling underscored that surpassing age 70 does not automatically warrant home detention and urged prison authorities to ensure prescribed care and monitoring.
  • The defense proposed a residence in Zárate for house arrest, but the judges noted it is more than 11 kilometers from the nearest health center.
