Jujuy Nurse Found Guilty of Injecting Milk Into Infant as Court Sets Separate Sentencing Hearing

Judges convicted him of serious injuries with dolo eventual and breach of public duties, and the family says it will seek the maximum penalty allowed.

Overview

  • The Oral Tribunal in Jujuy found Fabián Alfredo Solano, 47, guilty of serious injuries with dolo eventual in real concurrence with failure to perform public duties.
  • The court scheduled a later hearing to set the prison term, with the Penal Code allowing 1 to 6 years for the first count and up to 1 year for the second.
  • Prosecutors outlined that on April 23 at the Materno Infantil hospital, Solano intravenously administered liquid milk to a six‑month‑old, triggering a life‑threatening reaction.
  • The baby was rushed to intensive care, spent five days in the ICU, survived, and remains under strict medical follow‑up, according to family accounts.
  • The family’s lawyer, Carlos Sebastián Espada, expressed mixed feelings over the lesser conviction than the attempted aggravated homicide charge they sought and said they will ask for the maximum sentence.
