Finally, with Milei's government, we are starting to see true justice, with no favoritism and no luxurious home detentions. The justice system has confirmed the preventive detention of Alperovich because he has the economic power and connections to flee or hide if he were to be released.

La justicia confirmó la prisión preventiva de José Alperovich por abuso sexual

Lo hizo la Cámara Nacional de Casación Penal, que argumentó que el ex gobernador de Tucumán cuenta con el poder económico y los contactos para fugarse o esconderse en caso de recuperar la libertad. Seguirá detenido en la cárcel de Ezeiza
