Background
On September 1, 1993, 10 Family homes in Buenos Aires were raided by police. Over 200 children were taken into protective custody and more than 80 adults were arrested. On September 9, 1993, Federal Judge Roberto J. Marquevich ordered the preventive detention of Juan Carlos Cavazza, Eduardo Jose Blanco Diaz, Lorenzo Montes Garcia, Jesse Jude Mara, Joel Steven Martin, Daniel Martial Charrie, Jurgan Heinz Grotnaus, Kay Susanne Rambur, Daniel Armando Moreno, Mark Steven Jacobs, Robert Eldrich Robb, Roberto Martinetto, Rafael Martinez Gonzalez, Susana Clara Borowik, Alejandro Emilio Trevisan, Nilson Alcides Gomez, Jackeline Reddic, John Kevin Roberts, Flor Bojorquez, Mario Roberto Torres and Alice Sophia Dow. The preliminary charges included corruption of minors, reduction to a state of servitude, illegal deprivation of liberty, retention and hiding of persons, illicit association and infraction of the law against racial and religious discrimination. Rambur and Robb were also charged with altering the civil status of a minor under 10 years old and falsification of documents. On December 13, 1993, by a 2-1 vote, the San Martin Court of Appeals issued a ruling favorable to the 21 defendants. The majority ruled that Judge Marquevich did not have jurisdiction over the case. San Martin Appeals Court Judge Dr. Daniel Mario Rudi strongly disagreed with the majority in his 135-page dissenting opinion which quoted extensively from Family publications. The 21 charged were freed and the case was sent back to a lower court for further investigation.
