The judicial situation of Pity Álvarez is once again under scrutiny following his massive concert in Córdoba in December 2025. According to the Argentine News Agency, based on that performance, the Justice system has ordered a new medical board to determine if the musician is fit to stand trial for the homicide of Cristian Díaz, a case that has been suspended for years. The former leader of Viejas Locas had been detained in July 2018 after confessing to Díaz's murder, and although the oral trial was scheduled to begin three years later, the process was halted when the Forensic Medical Corps concluded that Álvarez suffered a mental disability that prevented him from being tried due to his psychiatric state. As revealed by Martín Candalaft on DDM, the show Pity performed for over 30,000 people has been incorporated into the judicial file. Not only for the public impact of the event, but because the Justice system seeks to analyze if his stage performance demonstrates a change in his mental state. According to the information that has come to light, other open cases are also being unified in the same process, including one for the unlawful deprivation of liberty of two women, which would include the alleged abuse of one of them. "Now the Justice system has to define if the trial can be resumed and if Pity is fit to go to prison," Candalaft explained on air. The new interdisciplinary board was set for February 10, and expert Florencia Adorante detailed that the analysis will be thorough and will cover different aspects. "For him to get on stage, there must have been a prior evaluation that determined he was not dangerous to himself or to third parties. That is the great fear," she concluded. The result of this new medical board will be decisive in confirming that Pity Álvarez can face the process, and the trial could be reactivated after years of paralysis. Although it is possible that the case will be suspended again, prolonging one of the most complex and media-covered judicial stories in Argentine rock. "Another key instance is now added to establish if he can face a trial and if he was imputable at the time of the event," it was explained. Among the evidence to be considered are the concert videos, recent medical reports, and individual interviews with the musician: "It will be observed if he is oriented in time and space and what his current behaviors are," the specialist added. Adorante emphasized that the Justice system seeks to prevent the trial from being declared null due to a possible incapacity of the accused to understand the process: "Being able to exercise your profession is not the same as being in a psychological state to go through a criminal trial."
