The officials highlighted that today “convictions for drug trafficking are 97 times faster.” “We have society’s mandate to end insecurity,” they noted.
The Minister of Justice Mariano Cúneo Libaronaand the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich held a press conference on drug trafficking at Casa Rosada, in which progress in the fight against crime was highlighted.
“From day one we dedicated ourselves to giving all possible tools to Justice to combat drug trafficking. One of the main tools that we gave was the implementation of the Accusatory System in the national territory. This has managed, for example, to issue a sentence for drug trafficking in Rosario in 30 days that previously took more than 3 years. That is to say, “Convictions for drug trafficking today are 97 times faster”said Cúneo Libarona.
“We have the mandate of society to end the insecurity that good Argentines suffer every day. And hand in hand with Javier Milei and Patricia Bullrich We are not going to stop until we achieve it,” he said. “I must make special mention of everything that has been worked on to date in a joint effort aligned with the Ministry of Security in matters of drug trafficking. We do not fight drug trafficking, Patricia does that very well in her role. “We provide tools to the Justice Department so that it can put drug traffickers in prison.”

What Cúneo Libaron said about drug trafficking
He explained that they also created a Penal Code Reform Commission, given that “The current Penal Code was created in 1921, before the Second World War. “It is more than 100 years old.”. Also “the jury trial law and confiscation were promoted to facilitate the recovery of assets from organized crime.”
“I am excited to think that we did all this in a single year and that we have three years ahead of us to continue strengthening a judicial system that we found weak and that is already being recomposed. We’ve already done a lot and we’re just getting started. We are not going to leave unnecessary expenses to be cut and we are going to continue supplying the Judiciary with tools so that those who commit a crime are where they need to be: behind bars,” he added.
Furthermore, he described that “the Federal Justice in Argentina is going through a state of deliberate collapse, the result of decades of abandonment and structural negligence. This deterioration is not fortuitous: it responds to an institutional inertia that has allowed the perpetuation of an inefficient, opaque system designed to protect criminals to the detriment of good Argentines. The judicial infrastructure is alarmingly neglected, with buildings in dilapidated conditions and obsolete technologies. There are metal prosecutor’s offices and courts, without Internet. There, the most serious crimes such as human trafficking and drug trafficking are supposed to be investigated and prosecuted. Justice walks while criminals run. “It’s like trying to fight a war without weapons or ammunition.”
