Overview
- The ruling leaves the dismissals of Mauricio Macri, former AFI chiefs Gustavo Arribas and Silvia Majdalani, and other ex-officials final in the espionage file.
- The decision rests on formal grounds after prior rulings that framed the intelligence activities as presidential or internal security measures.
- Families of the 44 submariners condemned the outcome, and their lawyer Valeria Carreras said she will submit a last-ditch revocatoria with slim chances.
- The espionage case began with a 2020 complaint by then-AFI interventor Cristina Caamaño alleging monitoring of relatives of the ARA San Juan crew.
- A separate prosecution over the submarine’s sinking proceeds to an oral trial in Santa Cruz, where several Navy officers, including Luis Enrique López Mazzeo, will face charges.
