Overview

  • The 300-plus-page report attributes most entries in original notebooks 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8 to Oscar Centeno and concludes those volumes correspond to their previously published digital copies.
  • Experts could not attribute certain added or overwritten notations, including entries such as “Ing. Ferreyra,” “Armando,” and “Alem 855,” citing a lack of spontaneity typical of later insertions.
  • The original Notebook No. 5 is missing, and the study documents numerous corrections, strikeouts and overwriting—particularly in Notebook 3—without overturning the overall authorship finding.
  • Examiners identified the use of multiple pens and non‑evolutive inks across the notebooks, allowing only relative dating of additions rather than determining an absolute age for the writing.
  • TOF 7 scheduled a preliminary hearing for September 24 and plans to open the consolidated trial on November 6 before Judges Fernando Canero, Enrique Méndez Signori and Germán Castelli, with 74 defendants, 626 witnesses and weekly Thursday hearings by Zoom.
