Former Argentine President Mauricio Macri has been summoned to appear on Oct. 7 before the Courts in a case of alleged espionage against relatives of the Navy's ARA San Juan submarine crew.

With Argentina's mid-term elections coming up, many analysts see some sort of lawfare in the timing of the ruling, although Macri himself is not a candidate.

Macri, currently in Miami, has also been banned from leaving the country by Judge Martín Bava, who is temporarily in charge of the Federal Court in the city of Dolores in the province of Buenos Aires.

It is the first time the former head of state needs to account for his doings in such a capacity. He is said to have engaged the Federal Intelligence Agency (AFI) to track down the movements of the relatives between late 2017 and December 2018.

This will be great entertainment.
