Overview
- Judge Augusto José Paz Almonacid dismissed the case and acquitted Sebastián Sosa, Braian Cufré, Abiel Osorio and José Ignacio Florentín Bobadilla, stating that the act does not constitute a crime.
- The ruling closes the proceedings at first instance, with the complainant’s attorneys, Patricia Neme and Alejandro Char, confirming they will seek review by a higher court.
- The court rejected a motion to nullify forensic examinations of cell phones belonging to witnesses close to the complainant.
- Defense teams had requested dismissal two weeks earlier, arguing that phone extractions from the complainant and her friends weakened the accusation.
- The querella calls the decision premature and says it failed to weigh the complainant’s evidence, signaling an appeal grounded in victim‑protection standards under Laws 27,732 and 26,485.
