Argentina’s Supreme Court Finalizes Four-Year Sentence for Julio De Vido in Once Disaster Case

The court rejected all appeals under Article 280, cementing a four-year term with lifetime disqualification.

Overview

  • Justices Horacio Rosatti, Carlos Rosenkrantz and Ricardo Lorenzetti declared inadmissible the appeals from both the prosecution and the defense under Article 280.
  • The ruling leaves intact a four-year prison term and perpetual disqualification from public office for fraudulent administration tied to the Once case.
  • The defense’s attempt to claim prescription was discarded, closing remaining challenges to the penalty.
  • The sentence follows a 2024 Supreme Court order to recalculate the penalty and an April 2025 Casación decision that set it at four years after a hearing.
  • With the decision final, the trial court must determine custody conditions, as De Vido is currently under home arrest.
