Argentina court frees fugitive convicted of killing pregnant wife after 22 years on prescription

Argentina's Superior Court of Justice of Tierra del Fuego ruled by majority that criminal action against Ramón Abregú was extinguished due to statute of limitations, ordering his release. Abregú had escaped prison and evaded capture for 22 years. The ruling is controversial as it applies prescription despite the long evasion, raising questions about judicial interpretation and public safety.
