Overview

  • Federal police searched José Luis Espert’s home and his congressional office on October 9 under a court order, after the Chamber of Deputies authorized requisitions by a 215–0 vote with three abstentions.
  • Prosecutors in San Isidro are investigating alleged money laundering tied to a US$200,000 transfer from detained businessman Fred Machado; Espert took leave from his seat as Judge Lino Mirabelli and Prosecutor Federico Domínguez advance measures.
  • La Libertad Avanza appealed to the National Electoral Chamber to seat Diego Santilli atop the Buenos Aires list after Judge Alejo Ramos Padilla placed Karen Reichardt first, and electoral sources caution that reprinting ballots days before the vote may be unfeasible.
  • Peru’s Congress voted to have Prime Minister Eduardo Arana and the cabinet appear today at 3 p.m. following a shooting at an Agua Marina concert that wounded five, while Fuerza Popular announced a motion to interpellate Interior Minister Carlos Malaver.
  • The Michoacán Congress approved a new Organic Law for the State Prosecutor’s Office by 33 votes to 5 after a heated debate, drawing opposition complaints over rushed procedure and potential legal and rights conflicts.
