Overview
- The civil group ACIJ asked the Supreme Court to order active magistrates to stop serving on AFA’s Ethics, Disciplinary and Appeals tribunals, citing incompatibility under Decreto‑Ley 1285/58 and judicial rules.
- Numerous sitting judges and prosecutors are reported to hold seats on those AFA bodies, raising conflict‑of‑interest and impartiality concerns that ACIJ says compromise judicial independence.
- The corporate registry regulator IGJ opened an administrative inquiry, reiterated demands for AFA’s audited financial statements and governance records including UNAFA documentation, and set a 20‑day deadline with the option to appoint a veedor informante.
- The Justice Ministry signaled it could seek additional complaints, inspections of books and minutes, fines, or registral blocks if AFA does not comply with IGJ requests.
- Tax agency ARCA expanded a criminal case alleging improper retention of taxes and social security contributions exceeding AR$19.3 billion, which remains before the economic‑criminal courts.
