Overview

• Norberto Cristian Graf’s lawyers requested a total and definitive dismissal, arguing there is no provable crime, no attributable authorship and that any action would be time‑barred.
• Judge Alejandro Litvack previously declined to order Graf’s indagatoria and required the prosecutor to state precise, time‑stamped facts for alleged concealment and suppression of evidence.
• The judge forwarded the dismissal petition to the fiscalía, and the prosecutor’s response, which coverage indicates is expected to oppose the request, will set the next steps.
• Javier Fernández, the victim’s brother, was admitted as a querellante and can seek evidence, question witnesses, propose experts and oppose a dismissal.
• Forensic analysis confirmed bones found at a Coghlan property belong to Diego Fernández Lima, and Graf, the only person formally accused, has publicly denied knowledge of the events.
