Legal developments in Spain and Argentina involving criminal cases

Several legal developments are unfolding across Spain and Argentina. In Spain, Judge María Elena Fernández Currás has suspended the prison sentence of Francisco Garzón Amo, the driver convicted in the 2013 Alvia train derailment in Angrois that killed 80 people. Garzón, who is 65 and suffers from COPD, will remain out of prison while his request for a pardon is processed.

In Argentina, legal proceedings continue in multiple cases. In La Plata, Tamara Roh, accused of practicing psychology without a license, has submitted training certificates to her defense in an attempt to avoid conviction and seek dismissal. Her lawyers argue that her studies in social psychology should be evaluated to determine the scope of her activities.

Other Argentine cases include the acquittal of Jorge Alejandro Altamirano in the Santiago Aguilera murder case in Córdoba, and the six-month extension of the investigation into the death of child Ángel López in Comodoro Rivadavia, where two suspects remain in preventive detention. Additionally, in La Plata, the mother of Johana Ramallo has requested to postpone a hearing regarding alleged threats made by a police officer.
