The Parlasur deputy requested political asylum in Uruguay in May, after revealing that he has been in that country since December 8. Describing himself as a persecuted person, he said he would not return to Argentina due to fears for his safety and imprisonment. He said he would not appear before the judge, and offered to speak via videoconference, a proposal the judge would not accept.

A federal judge has issued an international arrest warrant for Fabián Pepín Rodríguez Simón, a former official in the 2015-2029 Mauricio Macri government and alleged judicial operator, after he said he would claim asylum in Uruguay and not return to the country while he is being investigated by the courts.
Federal judge María Servini had summoned Rodríguez Simón to give testimony on June 17, as part of an investigation into allegations against him of extortion and illicit association. The case is related to alleged government pressures on the Grupo Indalo business group. Executives from the media group were imprisoned during the Macri administration s time in office.
