Overview

• Five prosecutors took oaths on Tuesday in Santa Fe to subrogate vacant posts in Regions 1, 4 and 5: Ana Laura Gioria, Norberto Ríos, Nicolás Maglier, Juan Carlos Koguc and Guillermo Loyola.
• On Monday in Rosario, the provincial court swore in Matías Sebastián Merlo as Regional Prosecutor and nine subrogant prosecutors for the southern districts.
• Merlo set immediate priorities that include targeting homicides and shootings, reinforcing gender and sexual violence units, creating a dedicated cybercrime section and improving economic crime prosecution.
• The temporary appointments address vacancies caused by resignations, transfers, prolonged leaves, destitutions and a death within the prosecution service.
• Under Law 14,392 (article 68 bis) and Decree 1139/19, the subrogant roles were filled from an internal merit contest and formalized by Governor Maximiliano Pullaro on August 14, with 39 additional adjunto prosecutors still awaiting swearing-in at a later date.
