Judge Lets Graf Family Modify or Sell Coghlan House Where 1984 Victim’s Remains Were Found

The decision reflects the court’s view that a precautionary freeze was unwarranted during the ongoing cover‑up investigation.

Overview

  • Judge Alberto Litvack (National Criminal Court No. 56) denied the victim family’s request to bar changes to the property, finding no legal plausibility or risk in delay to justify the measure.
  • The ruling authorizes the Graf family to refashion or sell the chalet at Congreso 3742 in Coghlan while the criminal case continues.
  • Prosecutor Martín López Perrando opposed the freeze, and the defense warned of irreparable harm to heirs and detailed ownership stakes of 50% (mother), 25% (Cristian Graf), and 25% (Ingrid Graf).
  • Cristian Graf is imputed for aggravated cover‑up and suppression of evidence after the May discovery of Diego Fernández Lima’s remains and belongings in the garden; the EAAF reported the original burial lay entirely within the Graf lot.
  • Graf was questioned on October 17, and the judge must still resolve his procedural status as the investigation proceeds.
