Overview
- The Secretariat of Justice made the decision, with Secretary Sebastián Amerio drafting the resolution that will bear Patricia Bullrich’s signature during Mariano Cúneo Libarona’s leave.
- This is the second postponement this year after an August deferral set an interim start of November 10 under decree 530/2025.
- The delay covers the Tribunales de Retiro and was to extend across the City of Buenos Aires under the new Código Procesal Penal.
- Prosecutor General Eduardo Casal has called the shift a paradigm change that demands new organization, staffing, forensic capacity, and IT resources.
- The rollout faces a severe staffing crunch, with 32.5% of national and federal judgeships vacant and 46.8% of prosecutor posts lacking a permanent appointee, while the accusatory model already operates in roughly half the country.
