Luis Abelardo Patti, who I have mentioned several times here, is allowed to run as a candidate for the Argentine Chamber of Deputies.... from jail. A court has ruled that since he had not been convicted of any crime, there is nothing barring him from standing. So, all those voters looking for a politician wanted for crimes against humanity, here's your man!
Pagina/12 notes in practice, Patti is highly unlikely to be able to take up any seat. The legal wrangling, on both sides, seems to be mostly symbolic.
