The Argentine government has advanced its plan to restructure the Comodoro Py Federal Chamber, a key judicial body that determines the trajectory of major corruption investigations.
The administration submitted a slate of judicial nominations to the Senate this week, aiming to alter the composition of the chamber that currently handles sensitive cases involving top officials and state-owned enterprises.
The move targets the First Chamber of the Federal Court, which is currently overseeing several high-stakes legal proceedings.
Among the most prominent files under its jurisdiction is the investigation into the alleged cryptocurrency fraud involving the $LIBRA token.
The chamber also manages probes linked to the Minister of Economy and inquiries concerning the state oil company YPF and the procurement of COVID-19 vaccines.
By seeking to reconfigure this specific judicial panel, the government is attempting to influence the oversight of cases that have significant political and economic implications.
