Facundo Moyano Imputed for Desobedience as His Lawyers Resign

Prosecutors opened a new charge over an alleged meeting with Candela Arizaga even though hotel video peritajes found no record of her, and the court’s proximity and contact bans remain in force.

Overview

  • Moyano’s lawyers Miguel Molina and Alfredo Gascón resigned over strategy differences, a move they made public on Friday and which left the ex‑deputy temporarily without the team that had sought to lift his restrictions.
  • The Ministerio Público Fiscal formally imputed Moyano for the crime of desobedience on Saturday while investigating whether he met Arizaga at the Aira Apart Hotel during the period he was staying there.
  • Technical forensics by the Gabinete Multimedia examined the hotel’s seized DVR and found no footage showing Candela Arizaga during Moyano’s documented stay, a result prosecutors have noted but say does not close the inquiry.
  • The Fiscalía again rejected a defense request to lift the 300‑meter perimetral and the ban on contacting Arizaga, meaning Moyano must continue to avoid physical and digital contact as the case proceeds.
  • Moyano has named new lawyers Alejandro Valle and Darío Saldaño and faces further procedural steps, including an eventual indagatoria and additional evidentiary analysis that will determine whether the desobedience charge advances to trial.
