Argentine Economy Minister Legal developments regarding Luis Caputo developments
Argentine Economy Minister Luis Caputo has addressed both domestic economic policy and personal legal challenges. Regarding the financial sector, Caputo rejected the use of taxpayer funds to bail out debtors or banks facing rising credit delinquency, labeling such intervention as “populism” and “immoral.” He stated that the current delinquency rate is not a systemic risk and noted that banks are working with clients to refinance debt. Separately, On the legal front, the Sala I of the Federal Criminal and Correctional Chamber confirmed the definitive dismissal of a judicial investigation into Caputo. The case, which originated in 2017, investigated allegations of incompatible negotiations negotiations, potential omissions in asset declarations, and the use of offshore companies during his previous tenure in the Macri administration. The court ruled there was no evidence of criminal intent or the use of privileged information in bond acquisitions. Specifically, the court found that Caputo had disclosed his involvement with LC Advisors to the AFIP and that the firm Princess International Group Ltd was owned by his brother, Flavio Caputo, with no link to the minister during the 2016 bond purchases. However, the dismissal is now subject to review by the Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation following an appeal by prosecutor Eugenia Anzorreguy de Silva. The appellate court was split on the matter: Judges Pablo Bertuzzi and Pablo Yadarola voted to admit the appeal, noting the dismissal was a “definitive sentence,” while Judge Mariano Llorens dissented, arguing the prosecutor’s arguments were insufficient to warrant higher court intervention.
