Overview
- Soria’s petition for extraordinary leave was denied by the Federal Oral Court, which referenced prior findings on his risk of escape.
- Prosecutors and the Peña family’s lawyers opposed the request on security grounds and argued it would grant unequal treatment compared with other inmates.
- Judges Víctor Alonso González, Fermín Amado Ceroleni and Eduardo Ariel Belforte said applicable rules do not contemplate release for the reason presented by the defense.
- Prosecutors have moved to elevate the case to trial and attribute to Soria a leadership role within the so‑called ‘falsos Dupuy’ group accused of trying to derail the Loan investigation.
- Soria remains processed on multiple counts, including unlawful deprivation of liberty, fraud on public administration, concealment, supplying narcotics free of charge, resistance to authority and usurpation of titles, after allegedly posing as CIA, Interpol and DEA personnel.
