Julio De Vido Detained to Serve Four-Year Once Case Sentence After Supreme Court Ruling

Trial judges ordered immediate execution of the sentence, with house arrest denied.

Overview

  • De Vido presented himself at Comodoro Py on Thursday morning and was taken into custody, with transfer to the Ezeiza federal prison reported by local media.
  • The Supreme Court left his four-year conviction final by declaring remaining appeals inadmissible in the case tied to administration fraud related to the Once rail disaster.
  • TOF 4 rejected a last-minute bid to suspend the detention and denied a request for domiciliary confinement, citing that the law only allows narrow exceptions such as verified grave illness.
  • The defense plans to petition the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and to submit additional medical documentation domestically while insisting the case is time-barred.
  • While in custody, De Vido was set to join a scheduled Cuadernos hearing remotely, as separate convictions and proceedings continue to frame his broader legal exposure.
