Tucumán Municipality Is Ordered To Stop Arbitrarily Seizing Vehicles And Demanding Advance Payment Of Fines (Tucumán)
On the 8th of May, 2019, in the case “Valenzuela Fabricio Gastón s/ Infracción a la ordenanza 758/82 – Código de Falta Municipal”, (Expte. 2582/2022), the Court warned the Municipality that it could not continue to arbitrarily seize vehicles; require advance payment of fines, and delay the sending of case files. Such actions imply a violation of Inter-American standards. The ruling reiterates the legal doctrines established in the “Routti” and “Gesavan” cases.
