- The second hearing is being held virtually on Thursday at 9:30 a.m., with the current weekly cadence projected to stretch the process beyond three years.
- The Court of Cassation and members of the Judicial Council have asked for in-person sessions and a faster rhythm, citing concerns about immediacy and defense rights.
- A meeting on Tuesday will gather the TOF 7 judges Enrique Méndez Signori, Germán Castelli and Fernando Canero to decide frequency and venue options including Comodoro Py’s AMIA room, Costa Salguero or Tecnópolis.
- Twenty-five cooperating witnesses are slated to begin testifying next week, a pillar of prosecutor Fabiana León’s case, and most have pointed to Cristina Kirchner and Julio De Vido as organizational leaders.
- The case spans nearly 90 defendants and more than 600 witnesses, stems from driver Oscar Centeno’s notebooks and a 2018 probe, and includes Cristina Kirchner following proceedings remotely from house arrest for a prior conviction.
