Overview
- Justices Horacio Rosatti, Carlos Rosenkrantz and Ricardo Lorenzetti left the ruling final by declaring appeals from the prosecution and the defense inadmissible under Article 280.
- The confirmed sentence is four years in prison with permanent disqualification from public office for De Vido’s role as a necessary participant in fraudulent administration.
- Following the Supreme Court decision, Federal Oral Court No. 4 ordered De Vido to appear at Comodoro Py on Thursday at 10:00 to make his detention effective.
- De Vido was acquitted of the charge tied directly to the 2012 fatalities and injuries, but courts found he failed to control funds allocated to the Sarmiento line concessionaire TBA.
- The tribunal will determine the mode of sentence execution, and the defense is expected to seek home confinement given that De Vido is 75; a recent bid to claim prescription was also rejected.
