Overview

• On July 8, Judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado of the Federal Court of San Isidro conditioned Abaigar’s release on a 30 million-peso bail and house arrest with electronic monitoring
• Her legal team appealed the bail on July 9, arguing that the amount is disproportionate and conflicts with the Federal Chamber’s release order
• Court conditions also require weekly court appearances and bar her from coming within 500 meters of Deputy José Luis Espert’s residence or family
• Quilmes councillor Eva Mieri remains detained on related charges and is awaiting review of her own excarcelation request by the San Martín appeals chamber
• A coalition of human rights groups has denounced the bond and restrictions as excessive measures that undermine due process and proportionality
