Judge Acquits Four Former Vélez Players in Tucumán Case After Finding No Crime

The complainant’s lawyers plan to appeal, citing reliance on phone‑chat analyses over unassessed medical and testimonial proof.

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.
