Overview
- The Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation convened the judges of Tribunal Oral Federal No. 7 to urge a shift to at least three weekly, fully in‑person hearings with no summer judicial break.
- Sources at the court said a majority favors the change, though the tribunal has not yet formalized the new schedule or modality.
- Hearings are currently held once a week on Thursdays in a mixed format, with an additional day only expected to be added starting in March.
- The remodel of the AMIA courtroom in Comodoro Py, which can seat about 200 people, is advancing and could open by the end of the month after delays, aiming to ease space and technology bottlenecks.
- The sprawling case spans more than 300 alleged acts with 87 defendants and around 400 planned witnesses, prompting warnings from the Supreme Court about reasonable duration and from civil society about discouraging future collaborators.
