Overview
- Prosecutors Sandro Abraldes and Micaela Sagretti filed the request Friday, asking Buenos Aires Trial Court No. 29 to lift the suspension and set a prompt date for Álvarez’s oral trial.
- They rely on new reports from the Cuerpo Médico Forense that describe mild multidomain cognitive impairment yet conclude he has sufficient cognitive reserve to understand the case and take part in his defense after brain scans, EEG, neurological checks, and psychodiagnostic testing.
- Defense experts from the public defender’s office say he has a major neurocognitive disorder linked to chronic substance use and urge deeper neuropsychological evaluation before any trial date is set.
- The prosecutors point to his three-hour concert in December 2025 in Córdoba and a planned May 9 show in Rosario as recent signs of sustained attention, memory, and organization that conflict with claims of incapacity.
- To accommodate limits the experts noted, the filing proposes daily hearings capped at three hours, and the tribunal will now decide whether to resume a trial paused since March 2023 that would also address firearm possession and unlawful deprivation of liberty charges.
