The decision was made after the Justice definitively ratified the sentence against him for his responsibility for the railway disaster that occurred in 2012. De Vido's defense had requested that the former Kirchnerist official serve his sentence under house arrest, citing health reasons and age. The tribunal considered that there are not sufficient elements to grant the benefit, so he will have to return to prison to serve his sentence. The ruling of the TOF 4 adds to the verdict of the Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation, which last week made the conviction of De Vido for fraudulent administration to the detriment of the State final. With this decision, the Justice closed the review stages and enabled the execution of the sentence. In this way, Julio De Vido must present himself this Thursday at 8:30 am at the Comodoro Py courts for his sentence to be carried out. The Federal Oral Court (TOF) 4 rejected this Wednesday night the request for house arrest filed by the defense of former Federal Planning Minister Julio De Vido, convicted for the Once tragedy. The former minister had been found responsible for irregularities in the management of the railway system that led to the accident that occurred on February 22, 2012, in which 51 people died and more than 700 were injured.
