His twin remains missing. According to information from the Argentine News Agency, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights had already dismissed Amelong's petition in 2023 for not finding a violation of rights. In a context where official sectors are promoting negationist discourses and dismantling memory policies, the ruling reaffirms the Judiciary's commitment to the justice process 50 years after the coup. The Federal Chamber of Criminal Appeals rejected the request of former Army Lieutenant Colonel Juan Daniel Amelong, who sought the cessation of his preventive custody, invoking the 'Castillo' ruling by the Supreme Court. Judge Alejandro Slokar argued that it is not appropriate to grant benefits to those convicted of crimes against humanity, in virtue of the international commitments assumed by the country. 'The punitive response imposed cannot be commuted or reduced, as it would once again enter a passage of impunity,' he stated. Amelong was part of the Intelligence Groups of Detachment 121 in Rosario during the dictatorship and accumulates five convictions for crimes against humanity, including three life sentences and a sentence for the appropriation of twins born in captivity. The repressor even provided a family home for the operation of the clandestine center 'La Intermedia' and participated in an intelligence mission in Mexico. He also handed over one of the daughters of Raquel Negro, a granddaughter restored in 2008.
