According to Telam News Agency, the hearing began at 10:00 am local time, in the second chamber of that court before judges Guillermo Iacobucci, Angela Ledesma and Mariano Borinski.
Within the established schedule, this conference will be presented by the lawyer from the Center for Legal and Social Studies, Paula Litvaczky, the defenders of the families of the victims Luis Tagliapietra and Valeria Carreras, representatives of the former president and members of the Federal Intelligence Agency (AFI).
“If the Chamber agrees to dismiss Macri, an incorrect hypothesis will be validated, which will deviate from the guidelines on the protection of human rights. Litvaczky noted that the AFI has no direct functions in presidential security.
The German-made submarine left the southern city of Ushuaia and lost contact with the Navy on November 15, 2017.
It was searched during the first days in an operation that included the use of advanced technology and the participation of 15 countries, after which it contracted with Ocean Infinity, which was finally able to determine its whereabouts a year later.
Relatives of the 44 officers who died in that incident denounced Macri for spying against them, while they waited for news about their loved ones.
In July 2022, judges Pablo Bertozzi, Mariano Llorens and Leopoldo Broglia, of the Metropolitan Chamber, decided to terminate the operation, despite the presence of evidence that, in addition to the former head of state, 12 members of the AFI were involved in the crime. The case was cleared.
Bertozzi, Lawrence, and Bruglia indicated at the time that there was no crime because they were supposed intelligence missions, and justified this by the need to ensure the protection of the then president. However, Prosecutor Raoul Blé explained that it was not possible to prove that they were measures to neutralize any security risk.
In addition, he pointed to a violation of the Law on the Rights and Guarantees of Victims of Crime.
He said that the intimacy and privacy of people who gathered only to seek to find out the truth about the events that led to the death of immediate relatives or close relatives had been violated.
The divers’ relatives, their lawyers, and Justice Minister Martin Soria denounced what happened and demanded the dismissal be cancelled.
