Overview
- Judge Laura Bruniard scheduled Moretti’s indagatoria for Thursday, November 6 at 11:00 on allegations of defraudación por administración fraudulenta.
- Sala VII judges Juan Esteban Cicciaro and Rodolfo Pociello Argerich granted the Public Prosecutor’s appeal, presented by fiscal general Mauricio Viera, and revoked the suspension that had halted the testimony.
- The decision keeps the investigation in the national criminal jurisdiction after an earlier inhibitoria was rejected by Judge Guillermo Pablo Lucero, despite the defense’s push to move the case to the City courts.
- Defense filings sought to shift the probe to City prosecutor Maximiliano Vence, while national prosecutor Mónica Cuñarro had already advanced the case in the federal forum.
- The inquiry began after a hidden-camera video allegedly showed Moretti pocketing cash tied to a youth signing, following a complaint by opposition leaders César Francis and Christian Mera, and this is the fourth attempt to hold the hearing after procedural delays.
