The International Monetary Fund (IMF) avoided replying to an inquiry required by Judge Alejandro Catania, who handles the case of the lawsuit filed by the Domestic Trade Secretariat against private consulting agencies.
The IMF’s judicial department stated that “the IMF’s files are inviolable” and that the institution’s representative in Argentina “is granted immunity regarding legal proceedings with written or spoken words.In light of this and other privileges and immunities that the IMF and his residing representative are granted, that are not obliged to comply with the requirement.”
Judge Catania handles the case of the lawsuit filed by the Domestic Trade Secretariat against Melconian & Santangelo private consulting agency, on grounds that they publish inflation rates that lack scientific rigor.
