Tomás Gálvez, prosecutor of the interim nationhe insisted on his proposal to eliminate special teams from the Public Ministry. As explained, these instances must have a temporary character and not to prolong indefinitely, because in their opinion they constitute an “alternate organization” within the Prosecutor’s Office.

In statements to the press, Gálvez said that this discussion will be taken to the Board of Supreme Prosecutors, where the future of these units will be evaluated. “That is another issue that is under study that we are going to see it at the Board of Supreme Prosecutors and the news will be given timely,” he said.

The prosecutor said that the structure of the Public Ministry already contemplates coordination mechanisms through regional presidencies and specialized prosecutors. In that line, he said that special teams were created to respond to urgent and extraordinary situations, but that once this scenario should be overcome.
“Actually, special teams are for a moment. Those are extraordinary, it cannot be forever, especially if we consider that the Public Ministry is structured with regional presidencies and above all, with the national coordinators of specialties and special teams are practically an alternate organization that would not make much sense. They are necessary for an urgency, for an extraordinary issue. But once that situation changes they have already left to exist and that is the criterion that I I maintain, “he said.
Gálvez’s proposal has raised questions, since teams like the one investigated by the Lava Jato case have been fundamental to process former presidents, former officials and large companies linked to corruption. The elimination of these would mean a setback in the fight against organized crime and against the corruption of senior state officials.
