Cámara Federal Upholds Criminal Processing and 10 Million Peso Embargo for Ex-Deputy Vanina Biasi

Her case moves toward an oral hearing under Argentina’s anti-discrimination law after judges deemed her social media posts unlawful.

Overview

  • A unanimous three-judge panel led by Mariano Llorens confirmed the April ruling that Biasi’s eight posts on X violated law 23.592 and upheld a 10 million peso embargo.
  • Judges Bruglia and Bertuzzi agreed that her comparisons of Israel to the Nazi regime and assertions of genocide exceeded legally protected political critique.
  • The prosecution spearheaded by federal prosecutor Carlos Stornelli with DAIA support triggered the application of Argentina’s statutes on incitement to religious hatred.
  • The court emphasized that the mass and decontextualized nature of social media posts removes any clear separation between state criticism and hatred toward the Jewish community.
  • With the appellate decision in place, Biasi is now one procedural step away from facing an oral trial under the country’s anti-discrimination framework.
