Overview

• Cassation judges Mariano Borinsky, Gustavo Hornos and Diego Barroetaveña will decide whether to uphold the expert valuation or accept the defense challenge.
• The defense contests use of the INDEC consumer price index and cites prior use of Banco Nación’s passive rate, arguing that alternative indexing would yield sums up to 100 times lower.
• A filing seeks suspension of the confiscation until there is a final ruling on the amount, arguing due-process violations and lack of prior debate on the calculation.
• In a separate petition before the Supreme Court, the defense asks to remove an electronic ankle monitor and visitor restrictions imposed under house arrest.
• The defense also moved to recuse Supreme Court justices Ricardo Lorenzetti, Horacio Rosatti and Carlos Rosenkrantz for alleged partiality, while noting the six-year conviction was affirmed in June.
