Overview

  • The Sala II court overturned sobreseimientos for seven former Macri administration officials, including ex-minister Oscar Aguad and ex-ENACOM head Miguel de Godoy.
  • Judges Martín Irurzun, Eduardo Boico and Eduardo Farah instructed the lower court to deepen the investigation into alleged state pressure on businessman Daniel Vila during the 2017 4G spectrum allocation.
  • The court acknowledged documented meetings, message captures and board records as supporting material but ruled that further measures of proof are needed to determine criminal liability.
  • Judge Daniel Rafecas must now collect additional testimonies and evidence, with a specific order to summon former Cabinet official Mario Quintana.
  • The decision reactivates a stalled probe into whether state actors coerced Vila to withdraw a Mendoza injunction and free up radio spectrum for rival operators.
