Overview
- The request for conditional release was rejected by Judge Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu after interdisciplinary reports from the prison and penal team concluded López lacks genuine remorse and shows a poor chance of social reintegration.
- Those evaluations record López saying “Hice una de más para tener poder” when asked about his conduct and describe his reflection on the crimes as partial and superficial.
- López remains in the Federal Prison Unit of Ezeiza serving a unified 13-year sentence that combines convictions for the 2016 ‘bolsos’ cash case, Vialidad, and illegal possession of a carbine, with his term due to expire on December 16, 2030.
- Prison files note López has exemplary internal conduct and no disciplinary sanctions, but the judge prioritized the psychological findings over those disciplinary marks when denying parole.
- The court ordered a focused psychological treatment program in Ezeiza aimed at addressing López’s attitudes toward his corruption convictions, and the decision may affect how future parole requests for high-profile corruption convicts are evaluated.
