The Court of Cassation rejected the exemption from prison for Marcelo Balcedo and his wife due to the risk of flight.

The Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation in Argentina has denied a request for exemption from prison for Marcelo Balcedo, the former general secretary of the SOEME union, and his wife, Marina Paola Fiege. The court based its decision on the identified risk of flight, upholding previous rulings that denied the couple's request to avoid detention while legal proceedings continue.

The judicial decision confirms that the legal challenges brought forward by the defense were insufficient to overcome the court's concerns regarding the defendants' potential to evade the legal process. The ruling maintains the current status of the judicial case against the couple.
