Carrió Seeks Impeachment of Judge Who Banned Publication of Karina Milei Audios

The petition asks the Consejo de la Magistratura to suspend the judge pending a removal process.

Overview

  • Elisa Carrió filed the request with the Consejo de la Magistratura alongside Marcela Campagnoli and Hernán Reyes, alleging mal desempeño and possible crimes.
  • The move targets Judge Alejandro Patricio Maraniello over his injunction that prohibits dissemination of audios attributed to the presidential secretary, Karina Milei.
  • The complaint alleges possible collusion with Justice Secretary Sebastián Amerio, questions Maraniello’s leadership role in the AAJC and its sponsors, cites gender‑violence and sexual harassment complaints, and flags irregularities in citizenship cases.
  • Reports note the judge faces nine complaints in total, with the Discipline Commission already notifying him and granting 20 days for a written defense as the proceedings advance.
  • The Buenos Aires Bar Association condemned the injunction as unconstitutional prior restraint on expression, intensifying scrutiny of the order’s impact on press freedom.
