Overview
- The Supreme Court rejected more than 20 defense appeals last week, clearing the way for the oral proceedings before Federal Oral Tribunal No. 7 in Buenos Aires.
- Hearings are set for Thursdays from 9:30 to 13:30 via Zoom with some sessions streamed on the judiciary’s YouTube channel, and a second weekly session is scheduled to begin in March 2026.
- Prosecutors project about 899 witnesses and a duration that could approach two years, with fiscal general Fabiana León leading the accusation.
- The tribunal incorporated the complete files of 25 cooperating witnesses, including chauffeur Oscar Centeno, whose notebooks underpin the case.
- Proposed “integral reparation” payments of roughly $40 million from groups of defendants were rejected after prosecutorial opposition, while the Financial Intelligence Unit participates as a complainant.
