Argentina Supreme Court to weigh reopening corruption case against ex-Buenos Aires mayor Larreta

Argentina's Supreme Court will rule on a prosecution appeal seeking to reopen a corruption case against former Buenos Aires City Chief of Government Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and other officials over alleged favoritism in the bidding for the Paseo del Bajo highway project, which was previously dismissed. The court also has two other politically significant cases on its docket, indicating a potentially consequential judicial period. The outcome could have political implications for Larreta, a prominent opposition figure, and test judicial independence.
