Supreme Court Sends 'Pitty, the Numerologist' Probe to Ordinary Criminal Court

The justices said the case belongs in a city instruction court because it concerns Asad’s private practice, not the closed Banco Nación file.

Overview

  • The investigation will proceed in the National Criminal and Correctional Court No. 31 following the high court’s ruling reported Feb. 19–20.
  • Pablo Salum, founder of Red LibreMentes, filed the complaint alleging psychological manipulation of vulnerable clients to obtain money and property.
  • A protective order prohibiting approach and contact was granted to the complainant as the inquiry moves forward.
  • The jurisdiction dispute was resolved after a local instruction court tried to send the case to Comodoro Py and Federal Court No. 9 declined to take it.
  • The Procurator General concluded the allegations are separable from prior federal matters, while Asad has publicly denied wrongdoing in TV interviews.
