Six Years After Fernando Báez Sosa’s Killing, Family Leads Mass and Renews Call for Final Ruling

The family pressed for a final ruling on the convictions, with appeals still before Argentina's Supreme Court.

Overview

  • Graciela Sosa and Silvino Báez hosted an evening service at Recoleta’s Santísimo Redentor, asking that the convictions be upheld without further delay.
  • At the Villa Gesell shrine outside the former Le Brique club, a small, quiet tribute lasted about 20 minutes as organizers said memorial items are routinely removed by nearby businesses.
  • Eight men were convicted in 2023—five to life and three to 15 years—and remain held at Melchor Romero as their appeals await a Supreme Court decision.
  • The case has regained visibility since Netflix released the three‑part documentary ‘50 segundos: El caso Fernando Báez Sosa’ in November.
  • Local media reported that in October Máximo Thomsen was isolated after a prison altercation, a measure described as preventive by penitentiary authorities.
