He was unbalanced. You don't ask for criminal interrogation the current President with such high profile because, guess what, she has inmunity, the president cannot be interrogated and, even the facts were true, it is a political decision out of judgment by Courts (Madbury vsus Madison).
The conference he wanted to do at the Congress was a crime (criminal investigations are secret, to disclosure it is a federal crime). The whole thing was hilarious for me before his death.
Is this something peculiar to Argentina? In most jurisdictions I've ever heard of, an official abusing their power is not something subject to immunity from one's country's own courts.
Unless you're talking about de facto immunity, independent of the law - in which case one must look sympathetically at the prosecutor as well going beyond the law, making the allegations public - not via anonymous leaks, but with his own name and on record.
P.S. I'm not an expert, but I've also yet to hear of any public official anywhere in the world being disciplined, much less charged, for disclosing information before their Congress.
