Overview

• Around 40 accused businessmen plan to formalize a collective offer near eight million U.S. dollars in a Zoom hearing called by Judges Fernando Canero, Enrique Méndez Signori and Germán Castelli.
• Defenses invoke Article 59’s “reparación integral” to seek extinction of the criminal action, arguing the tribunal can accept payments without admissions of guilt.
• Prosecutor Fabiana León and the state anti–money‑laundering agency (UIF) are set to participate, with the UIF expected to oppose and prior filings indicating prosecutorial resistance in similar cases.
• A recent appellate precedent highlighted the need for victim participation and prosecutorial consent in repair or conciliation agreements, making acceptance uncertain.
• The oral trial remains scheduled for November 6 with 75 defendants, including Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, as a court‑ordered handwriting analysis recently corroborated Oscar Centeno as the notebooks’ author; Centeno publicly rejects letting businessmen avoid trial by paying.
