Prosecutor Carlos Navas Rial decided to open an investigation against Macri, based on a complaint from Argentina’s current ministers of justice, Martín Soria, and security, Sabina Frederic.

Terceros and his naval counterpart Gonzalo Jarjuri were arrested last weekend in the course of an investigation of the incidents of late 2019 when the leftist Morales was ousted from power after 40 years due to upheavals causing around 35 deaths following a disputed election.
