Overview
- Tribunal Oral en lo Criminal Nº 7 scheduled the retrial to begin on March 17, 2026, with judges Alberto Gaig, Alberto Ortolani and Pablo Rolón presiding.
- At a November 12 preliminary hearing, the court addressed evidence issues and rejected multiple defense motions, including Leopoldo Luque’s request for a popular jury.
- Judges denied a non bis in idem claim advanced for Agustina Cosachov, clearing the way for a full new oral proceeding.
- Prosecutors Patricio Ferrari and Cosme Iribarren secured a prompt timetable to restart the process after the first trial was voided.
- Seven defendants will face a technical tribunal—Luque, Cosachov, Carlos Díaz, Ricardo Almirón, Mariano Perroni, Nancy Forlini and Pedro Di Spagna—while nurse Dahiana Gisela Madrid keeps a separate request for a jury trial under charges centered on alleged dolo eventual and abandonment; the autopsy found acute pulmonary edema due to congestive heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy.
