Argentina court weighs reopening corruption case against Larreta over Paseo del Bajo contract

Argentina's federal court will decide whether to reopen a corruption case against former Buenos Aires mayor Horacio Rodríguez Larreta over the Paseo del Bajo highway project, citing alleged favoritism toward a firm linked to former president Mauricio Macri's cousin. The case also implicates former officials, including Carlos Frugoni, who later worked with President Javier Milei and resigned over undeclared assets in the U.S. The decision signals potential legal escalation against opposition figures amid ongoing political tensions.
