ARIn a recent hearing of the 'Cuadernos de las Coimas' trial, the Federal Oral Court No. 7 mistakenly summoned a man named Juan Carlos Santos, who shared the same name as a witness scheduled to testify. The court had intended to call an ex-accountant from the former AFIP (now ARCA), but instead, a person unrelated to the case appeared. After taking the oath, the man was asked if he worked at the ex-AFIP, to which he answered 'No,' revealing the mix-up. He explained that he had been abroad with his daughter and returned specifically to attend the hearing. The court president confirmed the mistake and apologized, allowing him to leave. The confusion arose despite the notification including the case name and list of participants, highlighting the risk of similar names causing errors in legal proceedings.

It presents the event factually, without apparent ideological bias, focusing on the mix-up rather than taking sides in the broader political implications of the case.
