Overview
- Citing filings made last weekend, prosecutor Sergio Mola asked Judge Luis Armella to dismiss a recusal motion by Martín Insaurralde that seeks to remove Mola from the case.
- Mola wrote that the defense has not shown loss of objectivity and argued the recusal is a tactical effort to condition the inquiry and secure impunity.
- The prosecutor has already sought formal questioning and arrests for Insaurralde and Jesica Cirio, but Judge Armella rejected the detention requests as premature and instead imposed travel and proximity limits.
- Court‑appointed forensic accountants are finishing a peritaje contable that prosecutors say is central to the probe; the judge recently excluded Carolina Álvarez from that accounting measure after prosecutors had included her.
- The dispute over recusals and judicial steps comes as videos showing large sums of dollars renewed public pressure on the investigation and a change of magistrate is expected to shift who controls the file.
