Argentina Cassation Court Dismisses Case Against López's Wife in Convent Corruption Case

Argentina's Cassation Chamber, with judges Ledesma and Carbajo in the majority, accepted the defense appeal and dismissed the case against María Amalia Díaz, wife of former public works secretary José López, in the 'hidden fortune at the convent' corruption case. Judge Hornos dissented, arguing corruption cases are imprescriptible. The ruling narrows the legal exposure of López's family in a high-profile corruption scandal, though the core case against López himself continues.
