What happened
On 4 September 2026 Sala I of Argentina's Federal Chamber of Appeals (judges Mariano Llorens and Pablo Bertuzzi) confirmed a February 2026 decision by Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti to archive a complaint, open since 2019, against former president Mauricio Macri and ex-officials including current Economy Minister Luis Caputo over the IMF agreement. The court said that after more than five years no criminal hypothesis had been supported by the evidence and treated the deal as a decision made in a context of financial urgency. Prosecutor Franco Picardi had argued the closure was premature and that tracing of the funds was unfinished; a later appeal to the Court of Cassation was declared inadmissible.
