Overview

• Báez arrived from Río Gallegos at the Ezeiza federal complex and was admitted directly to the penitentiary hospital for clinical and cardiological studies.
• Judge Claudio Vázquez denied a habeas corpus but ordered the transfer to Buenos Aires for examinations, and Judge Néstor Costabel authorized the urgent relocation.
• Costabel requested an assessment by the Supreme Court’s Forensic Medical Corps to determine whether Báez faces critical risk and if prison domicile should be considered.
• The transfer combined a ground leg to Trelew with a state-operated flight to Buenos Aires, with continuous medical accompaniment and Federal Penitentiary Service custody.
• The defense and family reported losing contact during the journey, while Security Minister Patricia Bullrich said the operation followed protocol and that counsel was informed.
