Cassation did not rule on a claim for those convicted of repression, over 70 years of age, to serve house arrest and supported by Villarruel and Bullrich. The highest court rejected as "inadmissible" an appeal by the lawyers of a repressor who is in that situation.

The issue took on political significance because Security Minister Patricia Bullrich complained about this situation, which, in her opinion, “is revenge,” to the extent that this benefit is given to common prisoners but not to the repressors.
