In the morning hours, the president of the nation, Alberto Fernández, confirmed the intervention of the Federal Prison Service and made it clear that in the last hours a new person would be appointed in charge. After several hours, the name of María Laura Garrigós de Rébori was confirmed.” He’s someone I’ve known since I was 20; a pristine person in justice,” the national representative said in an interview with Radio 10. As for the new civil servant, she is a former judge and member of the Legitimate Justice group, who has a political stance linked to officialism.

The appointment in the Federal Prison Service is given after the departure of Emiliano Blanco, a legacy official of the government of Mauricio Macri, who had differences with the current vice-presidency. In addition, his position was affected by riots and riot of prison conditions at the beginning of April. Overcrowding and lack of sanitary conditions led to its intervention, coupled with the fact that in the last time the explosion of the case of alleged espionage from the AFI generated a greater task at the judicial level. That is why the federal criminal in Ezeiza was raided this afternoon, mainly in the detainee cells near Kirchnerism. Prior to his appointment, Garrigós de Rébori had made it clear that the Prison Service “has no sanitary facilities to respond” to an aggravation of the coronavirus situation and backed the appointment of home detainees to avoid a possible uncontainable outbreak.
