Buenos Aires Legislature Seals 'Chocolate' Rigau Files, Withholds Appointments from Justice

The Buenos Aires provincial Chamber of Deputies voted by more than two-thirds to archive the 'Chocolate' Rigau case files and refuse to disclose to the judiciary who appointed the 'ñoquis' (ghost employees). This move obstructs an ongoing corruption investigation, signaling legislative resistance to judicial oversight. The decision's legality and political fallout remain uncertain.
