Overview
- TOF 7 will add Tuesday sessions starting November 25 to the existing Thursday schedule to increase the pace of the trial.
- The 87 defendants' indagatories will run in a hybrid format with judges, defendants, defense, prosecutors, the financial intelligence unit, and the public in the Palacio de Justicia and other participants connected by Zoom.
- The tribunal will seek authorization from the Supreme Court, via the Federal Cassation Chamber, to use the larger Human Rights Hall on the ground floor of the Palacio de Tribunales.
- Judges reported operational strain with 122 cases in progress, 39 ready to be set for trial, and 29 new files in the past 90 days, noting their request to be excluded from new case assignments was rejected.
- The Cassation Chamber had warned in July that virtual, once‑weekly hearings limited the oral debate, while Judge Germán Castelli defended legal certainty against abrupt rule changes as Cristina Kirchner intensified criticism by alleging coercion of cooperating witnesses and pointing to prosecutor Carlos Stornelli.
