Overview

• Deputies postponed for seven days the vote to form a special commission on the fentanyl-contaminated medicines deaths, with meetings set between advisers Friday and committees next week to seek a unified draft.
• Lawmakers split over format: Victoria Tolosa Paz urged a bicameral commission for greater clout, while Silvia Lospennato and others warned that bicamerality could delay results and must not overlap with the judiciary.
• Under Judge Sebastián Casanello’s orders, police searched Nordelta neighborhoods tied to Suizo Argentina’s Jonathan and Emmanuel Kovalivker, seeking access logs and security footage in the ANDIS kickbacks inquiry.
• Prosecutors requested sending to oral trial two Gendarmería cabos accused of grievous injuries and breach of duty for shooting a motorcyclist during a Route 11 stop, a case previously processed by a federal judge.
• A federal tribunal handed life sentences to Mauricio Matías “Marca Choque” and Rubén “Cara de Bota” Arce for a 2022 narco-related homicide in Bajo Flores, as separate operations in San Luis, Tucumán and Santiago del Estero yielded detentions and drug seizures.
