Cristián Graf Seeks Dismissal in Coghlan Case as Judge Requests Prosecutors' Response

The case now centers on alleged concealment tied to the 2025 discovery of the victim's remains.

Overview

  • Graf filed a bid for definitive dismissal, with his defense calling the accusation baseless and invoking prescription.
  • Judge Alejandro Litvack forwarded the request to the prosecutor's office for a formal reply that will shape the next steps.
  • Litvack previously declined to order Graf's indagatoria, citing the need for a more precise, time-specific accusation.
  • The victim's family, represented by lawyer Hugo Wortman Jofre, opposes dismissal and seeks an encubrimiento investigation, with brother Javier Fernández admitted as querellante.
  • EAAF DNA analysis confirmed the remains found at the Coghlan property belong to Diego Fernández Lima, reviving the decades-old case.
