For those who know how to read between the lines, this resolution is, in reality, the best news I could have received.

Following the news, Icardi took to Instagram to share his reaction. He stated that the judge's ruling was the best news he could have received, interpreting it as a step towards pursuing international restitution for his daughters. "For those who know how to read between the lines, this resolution is, in reality, the best news I could have received," he wrote.

Icardi explained his opposition to his daughters living in Argentina, citing his belief that the country's legal system is ineffective and influenced by interests beyond impartiality. "As a father, for two years now I have maintained the same stance: I oppose my daughters living in Argentina, subjected to a justice system that has proven to be ineffective and conditioned by interests that have little to do with the impartiality it should guarantee," he added.

He further elaborated that signing the necessary documents would contradict his principles and his two-year fight for his daughters' well-being and future. Icardi recounted difficult experiences from 2025, describing how his daughters allegedly went from a stable life with him to being exposed to police operations, interrogations, and psychological distress. He claimed psychological reports indicated the children were "psychologically broken" and had adopted adult language implanted by their mother, which he contrasted with their behavior when with him.

Signing those documents would imply acting against the principles I have been defending since day one and the fight I have maintained for two years for the well-being, protection, and future of my daughters.
