Legal challenges arise for Rafael Filizzola and Gustavo Bordet

In Paraguay, Senator and former Interior Minister Rafael Filizzola has filed a constitutional action to overturn a ruling that revoked his dismissal from a criminal case involving alleged breach of trust. His legal team argues that the Appeals Court's decision violates Article 256 of the Constitution by failing to provide a proper legal foundation. The defense contends that the court improperly bypassed the technical analysis of the statute of limitations, treating the expiration of the criminal action as a procedural penalty rather than a constitutional guarantee.

In Argentina, the defense for National Deputy and former Governor of Entre Ríos, Gustavo Bordet, has requested the recusal of prosecutor José Emiliano Arias in an investigation regarding alleged illicit enrichment. The request cites a lack of objectivity, alleging that the prosecutor has systematically leaked case details to the press and issued extrajudicial opinions that undermine the presumption of innocence. The defense seeks to ensure transparency and impartiality in the proceedings, claiming the prosecutor's conduct has created a media-driven condemnation before any formal charges or convictions.
