Overview

  • The Court dismissed as inadmissible a last-ditch reconsideration motion filed by defense lawyers Maximiliano Rusconi and Gabriel Palmeiro.
  • Justices Horacio Rosatti, Carlos Rosenkrantz and Ricardo Lorenzetti held that Supreme Court rulings are not reviewable by revocatoria except for serious, unequivocal errors, which they said were not shown.
  • De Vido stands convicted of fraudulent administration for failing to control subsidies to TBA on the Sarmiento line, a lapse courts linked to the system’s deterioration before the 2012 Once crash that killed 51 people, while he was previously acquitted of culpable disaster.
  • Following the Court’s November 11 decision that left the four-year term and lifetime disqualification intact, Federal Oral Court No. 4 ordered his arrest, and today’s ruling clears the way to execute the sentence.
  • The punishment was fixed at four years after an April 2025 Casación review, reduced from the 2018 term of five years and eight months after the Supreme Court questioned proportionality in August 2024.
