Overview
- Federal judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi charged the ex-policeman with aggravated concealment and document forgery, reversing an earlier lack-of-merit ruling.
- The ruling cites targeted edits concentrated in notebooks 4 and 7, including name swaps such as “Marcelo” to “Armando,” address changes like “Alem 855,” and insertions such as “Ing. Ferreyra.”
- Experts found the questioned handwriting matches Bacigalupo rather than Oscar Centeno, and linguistic analysis indicates later sections were reconstructed rather than written as daily notes.
- The court imposed a 150 million-peso embargo, ordered a travel ban, and kept him processed without pretrial detention.
- The judge said the alterations sought to favor at least one person and harm businessman Armando Loson, while signaling the probe may expand to other hypotheses and actors tied to case 9608/18 before TOF 7 and linked to the GNL investigation.
