Overview
- Argentina’s Federal Cassation Court formally summoned TOF7 judges Enrique Méndez Signori, Germán Castelli and Fernando Canero to meet on Nov. 18 to define tools to speed the proceedings.
- Measures under discussion include holding hearings in person at least three times per week, using the remodeled Sala AMIA when available and keeping the trial active during the summer recess.
- The case has been proceeding with a single Thursday Zoom hearing, a pace judicial sources say could prolong the trial beyond four to five years.
- The Council of the Magistracy’s Alberto Maques urged full‑day, in‑person hearings and suggested large venues in Buenos Aires, including the AMIA hall, Tecnópolis or Costa Salguero.
- Billed as the most extensive corruption trial in the federal courts, the process involves 87 defendants, 300‑plus alleged acts and hundreds of witnesses, with the oral phase having begun on Nov. 6.
