Overview
- Tribunal Oral Federal No. 7 began the oral phase by reading the accusation in the long‑running Cuadernos case, with Cristina Fernández de Kirchner as the principal accused and more than 80 co‑defendants following largely online.
- Kirchner dismissed the case as a political spectacle on social media, while government voices signaled support for the judiciary’s work and a full airing of evidence.
- Internal Affairs teams carried out roughly a dozen raids in Santa Fe’s UR II fuel‑fraud probe, detaining at least eight people, including former regional chiefs Daniel Acosta, Diego Santamaría and Héctor Saucedo, in a case alleging multimillion‑peso losses.
- Federal and provincial forces in Salta seized 364 kg of cocaine after a Bolivian aircraft’s emergency landing, with prosecutor Eduardo Villalba confirming multiple detentions tied to the operation.
- In separate investigations, a retired Federal Police officer was detained after fatally shooting an alleged robber in Núñez, and a Rafaela suspect was transferred to Coronda prison on an attempted homicide charge ordered by prosecutor Martín Castellano.
