Contardi Petitions to Void Trial After 19-Year Sentence in Julieta Prandi Case

The filing puts the conviction under appellate scrutiny as media report new, unadjudicated claims involving Mauro Icardi and Wanda Nara.

Overview

  • Claudio Contardi’s new lawyer, Fernando Sicilia, submitted a 100‑plus‑page nullity request to the Cámara de Casación challenging the verdict that sentenced him to 19 years.
  • Sicilia argues there was no informed waiver of a jury trial, insufficient time to mount a defense after counsel changes, an indeterminate timeline of alleged acts, flawed psychological evaluations, and errors in legal classification.
  • The conviction remains nonfinal pending appeals; judges had ordered Contardi’s immediate detention, and a request for house arrest was denied, according to reporting.
  • Speaking after the ruling, Julieta Prandi said she is rebuilding her life and urged victims, including Wanda Nara, to prepare for a long process in seeking justice.
  • Separately from Prandi’s case, outlets report that Wanda Nara plans to file a complaint against Mauro Icardi for sexual and physical violence, and a TV witness recounted an episode of forced sex, which remain allegations without a court outcome.
