Overview

• President Javier Milei is set to present the draft at the Ezeiza federal prison with Security Minister Patricia Bullrich and Justice Minister Mariano Cúneo Libarona in attendance.
• The proposal would replace the 1921 code by unifying more than a thousand special laws, expanding the text from 316 to 920 articles.
• Key measures include tighter limits on parole, anticipatory state forfeiture of assets linked to crime, tougher sentences for repeat offenders, and broader protections for security forces acting in legitimate defense.
• The draft adds modern offenses such as AI‑enabled sexual‑image fabrication, complex cyberfraud, stealthing, pornographic revenge, virtual kidnapping, environmental crimes, and stronger corruption provisions including private‑sector bribery.
• Public‑order provisions penalize blocking traffic in demonstrations with up to three years and throwing projectiles with up to two years, and the government plans to submit the text to Congress for debate.
