By two votes to one, he was granted this benefit, despite having been sentenced in 2011 to 21 years and six months in prison.
The Federal Court of Cassation PenaltyHe decided, by majority, this Thursday granting conditional release to Diego Chemes, a former Penitentiary Service agent convicted in 2011 for crimes against humanity in Vesuvius committed during the last dictatorship (1976-1983).
Judges Guillermo Yacobucci and Carlos Mahiques They maintained that the decision of the judge executing TOF 4, Jorge Luciano Gorini, to reject the request for home release for Chemes was devoid of foundation. “The denial of the request for parole was based on discretionary considerations that are outside the regulatory framework that governs the matter,” they stated.
They refer to a report from the Interdisciplinary Execution Team where they point out that he does not repent for his crimes, sufficient reason to deny him conditional release. For the judges “the reasoning used lacks a legal basis.” The minority vote was that of judge Javier Carbajo, who agreed with the arguments of TOF 4 judge Gorini.
The HIJOS-Capital group rejected the benefit to Chemes. “ALERTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!

Who is Diego Chemes, the repressor of El Vesuvius
Diego Chemes He was an agent of the Federal Penitentiary Service and was a member of the guard that guarded people kidnapped and kept in inhuman conditions in the clandestine detention center El Vesubio, during the last dictatorship.
Chemes was sentenced in 2011 to 21 years and six months of pressure for his actions in the clandestine center El Vesubio that operated in the Buenos Aires district of La Matanza. Among the victims who passed through there are the cartoonist Héctor Oesterheld and the filmmaker Raymundo Gleyser.
In April 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, Chemes managed to be granted house arrest, but the following year it was revoked and he had to return behind bars. His defense made four new attempts that were rejected. On January 9, in Cassation, he was granted conditional freedom.
