Argentine inmates impersonate Supreme Court judge to extort detainees' families

Federal Judge Julián Ercolini indicted inmates in a Jujuy prison for using smuggled cell phones to impersonate Supreme Court Justice Horacio Rosatti and extort relatives of other detainees. The scheme exploited judicial authority to coerce payments, highlighting corruption and security failures within the prison system. The case is part of broader political tensions, with the source framing it as a maneuver against judges during the 'K era'.
