Overview
- The Supreme Court affirmed a lower court order granting only a partial extradition, restricting the case to the offense of pornography and leaving other Mexican counts outside the ruling.
- Justices Horacio Rosatti, Carlos Rosenkrantz, and Ricardo Lorenzetti signed the decision, which is the final judicial step in Argentina.
- The Court directed that Lindow’s time in detention in Córdoba be credited toward any sentence in Mexico and reminded authorities to observe international cooperation and human-rights norms.
- Mexican authorities allege Lindow contacted a 14-year-old via Facebook in 2011 and later traveled in 2014 to commit sexual abuse, prompting an international arrest warrant.
- Lindow was arrested in April 2023 at Córdoba’s airport and has been held in Bouwer prison as prosecutors supported extradition citing gravity and prescription risk, while the defense sought trial in Argentina due to charge differences and the status of grooming laws in 2011.
