Argentine society and its judiciary are mired in corruption and impunity, undermining the investment climate and economic development. The country suffers from double standards in justice, where those connected to power are released from custody on trivial grounds, while elderly military prisoners are held in inhumane conditions. This culture of impunity, extending to high-ranking officials including judges and prosecutors, deters investment and hinders job creation and GDP growth. Meanwhile, high-profile figures like Cristina Fernández de Kirchner receive special privileges, while other corruption cases, involving football and state affairs, are stalled or transferred, further eroding public trust in the judiciary.
