Casación Pushes TOF 7 to Speed Cuadernos Trial With In‑Person Hearings

Casación plans a formal order after TOF 7 requested space and staff to accelerate a case with more than 600 witnesses.

Overview

  • In a midday meeting at Comodoro Py, Casación proposed shifting to up to three weekly sessions with priority on in‑person hearings to prevent a years‑long timeline.
  • TOF 7 has added a second weekly hearing starting November 25 and set defendant statements to be taken face to face, while the current reading stage continues largely online.
  • Judges Enrique Méndez Signori and Fernando Canero told superintendence officials they need a larger venue and additional personnel to sustain a faster schedule.
  • Casación offered logistical help and venues, including the SUM and the forthcoming AMIA courtroom in Comodoro Py, with larger sites such as Costa Salguero and Tecnópolis also under discussion.
  • Supreme Court Justice Ricardo Lorenzetti condemned the virtual format as a bad decision and urged the judges to work through the summer; a Casación resolution and coordination with the Consejo de la Magistratura are expected next.
