Sala II of the federal appeals chamber ANNULS THE COMMITTAL FOR TRIAL of all 17 accused, holding that the people named as victims had not been in a position of vulnerability: a Cuerpo MÉDICO FORENSE report found they had acted throughout with free self-determination. Defence lawyers move for dismissals.

SHE EXPRESSLY DEPARTS FROM THE APPEAL CHAMBER’S CONCLUSION THAT THERE WAS NO TRAFFICKING.
- AS AT 16 SEPTEMBER 2026 NO ORAL TRIAL HAS BEEN SET AND NO VERDICT HAS BEEN RETURNED.
