Marcelo Porcel will have to provide his DNA to the Genetic Data Bank: The Court of Cassation rejected his last attempt to avoid the extraction

The highest criminal court (Casación) in Argentina has rejected a final appeal by businessman Marcelo Porcel, mandating that he must now submit to a DNA extraction. His genetic profile will be permanently incorporated into the National Genetic Data Bank.

Porcel faces severe allegations of sexually abusing ten students at the Palermo Chico school. This ruling marks the failure of his latest legal maneuvers to block the compulsory collection of his genetic material for investigative and registry purposes.
