- A Senate hearing for appellate judge Carlos Mahiques to renew his post at age 75 is set for April 16, signaling the push to move high‑profile agreements through the Acuerdos Committee.
- An Argentine labor court provisionally halted more than 80 parts of President Javier Milei’s labor reform, warning of potential harm to union rights, collective bargaining, and the right to strike while the case moves forward.
- Spanish police dismantled a hashish network tied to shipments from Morocco and uncovered a concealed three‑level tunnel in Ceuta with rails and small wagons, and a judge ordered provisional prison for most of the 20 detainees presented in the city.
- In the AFA cases, a top court suspended a competence hearing after a recusal bid against a judge, while another magistrate processed Claudio Tapia and Pablo Toviggino for alleged improper retention of contributions, imposed a 350‑million‑peso embargo, and kept their travel bans in place.
