Overview
- Szuchet’s designation, published Wednesday in the Boletín Oficial under Decree 249/2026, takes legal effect from April 1 and bears the signatures of President Javier Milei and Justice Minister Juan Bautista Mahiques.
- He replaces Joaquín Mogaburu, who served about three months after taking office in December, and brings experience as a criminal lawyer and former human-rights official.
- The same decree accepts the resignation of Juan Cruz Montero and appoints Jimena Belén Capece to lead the Access to Justice subsecretariat after the prior chief’s exit.
- Officials describe the reshuffle as a move to consolidate management teams without changing the government’s stated stance on human-rights policy.
- Reports indicate the subsecretariat could move from its current site at the ex ESMA to a building at Cochabamba 54 with a halted renovation and a 2024 clearance order, but the relocation remains unresolved.
