Overview

• The Tribunal Oral en lo Criminal Nº 2 held a preliminary hearing to review and refine the evidence and scheduled the next session for October 28.
• The defense argued it lacked full access to the case file and requested a forensic check of the court’s IT system, while Alvite asked not to be photographed in the courtroom.
• Alvite remains under house arrest as proceedings advance in the case over the death of motorcyclist Walter Armand.
• Prosecutors maintain the charge of homicide with eventual intent, which carries 8 to 25 years in prison, and co-defendant Valentina Velázquez is accused of concealment.
• Relatives and supporters of Armand gathered at the courthouse with the “Justicia por Walter” campaign, citing security video of red-light violations and a phone message allegedly asking friends to “play dumb.”
