Argentina corruption investigation involving Horacio Larreta

Overview

The Argentine Supreme Court has appointed two judges, Alberto Dalla Vía and Renato Rabbi-Baldi Cabanillas, to serve as ‘conjueces’ to evaluate the potential reopening of a corruption investigation.

The case involves former Buenos Aires Chief of Government Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and former Transport Minister Guillermo Dietrich regarding the construction of the Paseo del Bajo. Allegations include fraudulent administration, abuse of authority, and violation of official duties, specifically concerning a contract segment directed toward the firm Iecsa at an inflated price.

The appointment of these external judges follows a lack of consensus among Supreme Court justices Horacio Rosatti, Carlos Rosekrantz, and Ricardo Lorenzetti. The new judges will determine if the case, in which the defendants were previously dismissed from charges, warrants a formal reopening.
