Legal appeals filed in Catamarca judicial proceedings

In Catamarca, Argentina, legal representatives have filed appeals regarding two distinct judicial matters.

In the investigation into the death of Ramón Juan Carlos Rojas, the legal counsel for Natalia del Valle Rojas has filed a cassation appeal before the Court of Justice. The appeal seeks to annul a forensic medical meeting held on March 13, 2026, arguing that technical difficulties prevented a control expert, Juan José Fenoglio, from participating effectively in the deliberations. The investigation, which includes Silvina del Valle Nieva as an accused party, aims to resolve discrepancies between medical-legal reports.

Separately, the legal team for provincial deputy Javier Galán has submitted a cassation appeal to the Criminal Chamber of the Court of Justice. The motion challenges a resolution regarding a request for his removal from office (desafuero). While some previous measures related to allegations of threats and illegal exactions were overturned, the defense is now contesting proceedings related to alleged embezzlement of services, seeking to uphold his parliamentary immunity and constitutional guarantees.
