Argentine Judge Orders Criminal Probe of Health Officials Over Disability Ruling Non-Compliance

Federal judge Vaca Narvaja has referred a case to prosecutor Carlos Casas Nóblega to investigate Minister Lugones and Pami head for failing to comply with a court ruling on disability benefits, amid ongoing repeal of the Emergency Law. The move escalates judicial pressure on top officials, with 440 additional cases pending against Andis. This signals a potential institutional clash between the judiciary and executive over disability policy enforcement.
