The provincial Justice applied the Accusatory System in 2021, the tool that delivers the investigation to prosecutors and leaves the resolution to the Guarantee Judge, where the most substantial change is the speed in the cases. Now, the Ministry of Justice of the Nation announced that it will be launched for all Federal Justice and will begin to operate as of August 5 of this year.
In the case of the province, starting this machinery may imply the incorporation of more personnel and officials due to the multiplicity of cases it has and the current narrow structure it has, to the point that to date there is only one judge , Leopoldo Rago Gallo, who would be the Guarantees magistrate. That is to say, the burden now passes to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which in San Juan is embodied by Francisco Maldonado in the Federal Justice.
The resolution mentions “the full entry into force of the Federal Criminal Procedure Code in the Federal District corresponding to the Federal Court of Appeals of Mendoza, as of 00:00 on August 5, 2024” and, although It does not name it, it includes the jurisdictions of San Juan and San Luis.
Now, judicial sources understand that for the Federal Accusation to have the success that the provincial one had, it will be necessary to provide it with resources, fundamentally human, so competitions could be opened to enter. In any case, it is not official that this will happen in the near future.
There should also be an improvement or expansion of the building structure, which today is barely enough to cover the needs of the current system.
