Elías Piccirillo legal case in Argentina

Overview

Elías Piccirillo is facing legal proceedings in Argentina regarding an alleged plot to frame businessman Francisco Hauque. The prosecution alleges that Piccirillo, motivated by a debt of approximately 6 billion pesos, orchestrated a scheme to have Hauque arrested by planting a 9mm pistol and 1.258 kilograms of cocaine in his vehicle during an incident in January 2025.

Federal prosecutor Franco Picardi has requested that Piccirillo and several others, including police officers, face trial. The request follows a forensic reconstruction by the National Gendarmerie which concluded it was physically possible to hide the contraband in the vehicle.

In earlier court appearances, Piccirillo, who was the sole detainee in the case, sought release from his current home detention or a transfer to a different residence. He also requested permission to rent a property he owns to cover personal expenses.
