The second sentence incorporated into the unified penalty was issued on February 15, 2019, by the Chamber of Criminal Cassation of Jujuy, and subsequently adjusted by the local Court. It is a sentence of 2 years of effective imprisonment for two acts of threats against police personnel that occurred on October 13, 2014, when Sala was a provincial deputy.
In the first phone call, directed to officer Vásquez, the leader demanded the return of clothes seized from an associate and threatened: "You're a bunch of cowards and you'll hear from me because I'm going to plant a bomb and blow you all up." Shortly after, in a second communication to the personal phone of commissioner Cabero, she repeated: "You're a bunch of incompetents, when I plant a bomb you'll know me. I'm going to blow you to hell, you'll know me."
Both convictions were ratified in the provincial courts, and the appeals filed by Sala's defense were systematically rejected by both the Chamber of Cassation of Jujuy and the Criminal Chamber of the local Supreme Court. Finally, the case reached the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, which, with this unanimous resolution, considered the complaint inadmissible and definitively closed the judicial path.
The pronouncement of the high court represents a key step in the consolidation of the State in the country. In a context of institutional recovery and transparency driven by the government of Javier Milei, the firmness of Justice in emblematic cases like that of Milagro Sala sends an unequivocal message: the structural impunity that for years protected political-criminal networks is beginning to crumble.
