Court Denies Morena Rial's Request for Conditional Release

The judge said breaches of her house‑arrest rules showed she was not ready for conditional freedom and ordered psychiatric follow‑up plus tighter conduct restrictions.

Overview

  • The Tribunal Oral N°7 in San Isidro sentenced Morena Rial to three years in prison after homologating a plea agreement on July 1.
  • The court rejected her request for conditional release on July 7–8, citing specific breaches of the conduct rules she was given while under house arrest.
  • The judge pointed to prohibited social‑media posts, a television interview and alleged promotion of betting as examples of violations that undercut the case for freedom.
  • Rial will remain under house arrest with an electronic ankle monitor, a ban on using social media and an order to undergo psychiatric and psychological treatment.
  • Her lawyers have called the ruling disproportionate and said they will explore legal options, while a separate criminal trial in Córdoba is set to begin on September 21.
