Is Lawfare also prevalent in Argentina..

Lawfare is a worldwide phenomenon and consists in the misuse of the laws for political purposes. The SOAS University of London is currently a point of reference in international law studies in England, where the term was used for the first time.

The term lawfare was used in Brazil by the defense of former President Lula to describe the violations of legal procedures by the Brazilian courts, as he was a victim of a collective act to discredit him and remove him from public life. Preventing Lula’s election is the struggle of some judges, public prosecutors and most part of the press in Brazil.



 
The Pope Francis has come out to condemn Lawfare in LAtin America..!


Google Translate

As he had done last June, the Pope again condemned today the concept of "lawfare" or judicial war. In a speech he gave before jurists participating in a World Congress of the International Criminal Association of Criminal Law, in progress in Rome on the subject of "Criminal Justice and Corporate Business", referring to "abuses of sanctioning power", Francisco mentioned this English term, recently used to refer to the situation of several Latin American former governors such as Lula da Silva or Cristina Kirchner, with pending legal proceedings.
