Overview
- The Tribunal en lo Criminal Nº 2 de Campana rejected the request, noting the proposed home for confinement is the same Escobar residence where the abuses were alleged to have occurred.
- Court-cited environmental and psychological reports warned the living arrangement could reinstate dynamics of power, control or violence.
- The defense sought either house arrest or permission to attend the home four times a week to care for a four-month-old child, arguing the sentence is not yet final.
- The ruling states that the conditions justifying detention persist and that continued custody best secures the aims of the process.
- Contardi remains held at Unidad Penal Nº 41 de Campana, and Julieta Prandi publicly welcomed the decision, saying he does not deserve the benefit.
