The advance of the denialist speeches of the crimes committed during the last military dictatorship that appeared in recent months fortunately do not seem to be reflected in the judicial rulings. Proof of this is a recent decision by the Federal Chamber of Cassation of denying parole to a former intelligence agent convicted of crimes against humanity.
Is about Eduardo Alfredo Ruffo, accused of crimes committed during the last military dictatorship. His conviction was on November 27, 2020 for “homicide qualified by its commission with treachery and by having been committed with the premeditated collaboration of two or more people.”

From that moment on he has been under house arrest, but his defense, represented by lawyer Javier Salas, presented a request to be granted conditional release, which was rejected by the judges. Gustavo Hornos, Javier Carbajo and Mariano Borinsky.
Ruffo has just been found guilty of the crime of illegal deprivation of liberty, committed by a public official with abuse of his duties or without the formalities prescribed by law. This, with the worsening of “mediate violence or threats and infliction of aggravated torment.”
The one in 2020 was added to three other previous convictions that the former agent had had for human rights violations during the last dictatorship. That is why He has been in prison for 23 years and is currently serving house arrest.

In addition, last Friday the Court of Cassation also extended the preventive detention of the former repressors Jaime Lamont Smart, who was a Buenos Aires minister during the dictatorship, and the former Buenos Aires police officer Juan Keller.
The decision was made by the judges Alejandro Slokar, Guillermo Yacobucci and judge Angela Ledesmafrom Room II of the Chamber of Cassation.
In a four-page resolution to which PERFIL agreed, the magistrates asked the Federal Oral Court of La Plata, which is currently judging them, to arbitrate the necessary means “to continue speeding up the development of the trial and, at the same time, inform the delivery of the sentence.”

In the vote of judges Slokar and Ledesma, to which Yacobucci adhered, they highlighted “the nature of the alleged acts, the dimension and their seriousness, as well as the complexity of the actions“. In turn, they pointed out the need to “extreme caution to safeguard the international responsibility of the Argentine State” when deciding on the issue.
