Argentine Court Halts Tagliani’s Defamation Case After Canosa Pays Fine

Tagliani has asked the appeals court to order an oral hearing and a public retraction rather than let a fine-based mechanism close the case.

Overview

  • The criminal proceeding for calumnias e injurias was suspended after Viviana Canosa opted to pay court-imposed fines, as confirmed by attorneys.
  • Lizy Tagliani’s legal team filed an appeal seeking an oral debate and a formal public retraction, with a decision pending from the Cámara de Apelaciones.
  • Canosa’s lawyer said the code allows the action to be extinguished without admitting facts and cited a guideline fine of 4,500 pesos, adding they would deposit 10,000.
  • The dispute stems from April accusations in which Canosa publicly alleged serious crimes involving minors and trafficking, later taken to Comodoro Py.
  • A planned face-to-face step in Lomas de Zamora in June did not occur when Canosa did not attend, and Tagliani has maintained she will pursue the matter to clear her name.
