In this way, the former super minister, the man who knew what to be, one of Argentina’s most influential politicians He sat and watched alongside historic defender Maximiliano Rusconi.
It was one of many things for De Vido.the Seventh Tribunal itself had sentenced him to four years in prison less than a month and a half later.

but, The real surprise came from the court itself, consisting of judges Enrique Mendez Signori, Germán Castelli and Fernando Canelo. Several comments have been stirred up in the press in recent weeks. off Many on the court pointed to the dynamics of the weekly hearing process. Therefore, it can last for many years. of Federal Court of Criminal Cassationthe country’s highest criminal court has summoned judges to the court next Tuesday with the aim of analyzing alternatives You will be able to speed up the process.
Just days after the summons to the court’s superiors, the court’s reaction to these versions was remarkable. Far from being mere humiliation or corporate self-defense, this is a small lesson in the economics of justice.
“For six years, based on the need to carry out a process in accordance with the national constitution, This court has made multiple claims. Requires the State Supreme Court, the Judicial Council and the Federal Court of Cassation to manage human resources, physical space, including work adaptation, and files created or to be created. In 2022 and 2024, the High Court was only partially satisfied.through the permission of the recruiter, not enough Depending on the request,” said Judge Mendez Signori.

The world does not end with bribe notes. Méndez Signori pointed out that the court has other ongoing cases and needs to provide reasons for its decision. He also recalled that “requests for reassignment of regular cases filed before the court and for suspension of the lottery for assignment of cases” were rejected. In the past three months, the court has received an additional 29 files for trial.
in any case, Mr. Méndez Signori suggested conducting an in-person survey for the time being. against the accused only with the participation of the accused and his/her counsel. You can watch the rest on YouTube.
he Judge Germain Castelli He made his own contribution, at least in precise terms. He asserted that this new situation “will occur without the support of a new foundation that is greater than the claims of one section of public opinion.” not shouldering delicate constitutional responsibilities What will be given to this competent authority will appear as follows: capricious and harmful to the principle of independence Acts that undermine legal security in the judiciary. This is especially true when the mission of this court is to provide fair justice to all those it judges, whether rich, poor, weak, or powerful. ”
of lawyer procedureThose interested in attending next Tuesday’s meeting spoke out. Laura Fescino, an expert on the Corridor of the Commodore Pi, was one of them. “My client can’t take two days off from work. He can’t survive without a daily income. Neither can I.” There is not even an AMIA room available, there is no parking lot that can accommodate 300 cars, and there are no toilets. I leave this wording for the hypothetical case where Congress makes a decision without us present,” he said.
