Overview

• The specialized human rights unit formally accused Jorge Pablo Cabrera and asked Federal Court No. 1 in La Plata, led by Judge Alejo Ramos Padilla, to summon him for indagatoria.
• Prosecutors cited Article 213 of the Penal Code for apología del delito and Article 3 of Anti‑Discrimination Law 25.392 for incitement to persecution or hatred, which carries penalties of up to three years.
• Cabrera’s comments aired on June 24 and July 15 on FM del Sur 103.7 in Verónica during a La Libertad Avanza program, with recordings circulating online that captured him saying a 1976 Ford Falcon trunk “still smelled of justice.”
• The case stems from two July 18 complaints, including one by the Provincial Commission for Memory, which were unified and delegated to the La Plata human rights prosecutorial unit.
• The filing argues freedom of expression has limits under Inter‑American Court doctrine and notes the remarks coincided with a local trial over crimes tied to a 1976 victim identified in Punta Indio, with the case currently at the investigatory stage without a conviction.
