In any case, the investigations will mark the beginning of the 2026 judicial calendar. Judicial sources told the Argentine News Agency that if at least half of the accused give statements, the trial will demand a considerable amount of time. Buenos Aires, December 10 (NA) – The trial over the notebooks of former Roberto Baratta's driver is going through its last five hearings of 2025, heading towards a new phase after the summer judicial recess, where the Oral Federal Court 7 is studying to accelerate the work pace and move towards full in-person hearings. On December 30, it is planned that judges Germán Castelli, Enrique Méndez Signori and Fernando Canero will call for a recess, in principle, until the first half of February. However, the judges have already decided to increase the frequency of hearings starting next year, which will become three weekly with the objective of speeding up the trial. For now, the judicial recess will remain unchanged, although an extensive stage of witness testimonies is foreseen, as 630 people have been accepted to testify. In the meantime, the reading of the accusations could be extended until next Thursday the 18th, and subsequently the stage of preliminary pleadings will follow. According to the schedule raised by the court, the investigations of the accused would begin in February and, according to the judges, will be in-person. The physical space for which this phase of the trial will be carried out still needs to be defined. Cuadernos Case: this Thursday the reading of the accusation of 'La Camarita' continues. On the one hand, the court asked the Supreme Court to enable the Human Rights Room of the Palace of Justice, the same venue where the verdict of the Trial of the Juntas was read, and in case that request does not prosper, it is considering using the AMIA room in Comodoro Py. This last room, located in the basement of the Retiro judicial building, continues under modifications that have lasted for more than two months. The trial being held in this space also implies a significant logistical change: the TOF 7 operates in the Palace of Justice on Talcahuano street, so the use of the Human Rights Room would be more practical for its work structure and for the handling of documentary evidence. In case the Court does not enable that space, the Court would have to analyze moving the hearing days to the AMIA room in Comodoro Py, as suggested by the Federal Chamber of Cassation.
