Why they removed restrictions on Alberto Fernandez’s assets

In June, chamber members Eduardo Farah and Roberto Boyco took the decision to lift the asset ban over the objections of Martin Iluca. “Taking cumbersome precautions such as a blanket asset ban Requires, at least in principle, that defendants be summoned to testify under investigationbecause of his alleged involvement in the crime. This is required by law. Here, the judge remains undecided,” Farah argued.

Boyko agreed with Farah, noting that “magistrates directly imposed blanket suppression of assets.” The type, level and limits of each responsibility are not even defined Natural and legal persons covered by the measure. Nor – and this is a crucial point – its economic scope”. Iluka, on the other hand, believes that “the current developments in the directive indicate the existence of prima facie evidence supporting the legal correctness of the measures taken.”
