Abstract

In Latin America, several corruption and public money embezzlement
scandals have damaged the confidence citizens have in democratic
institutions from all the countries of the region. Existing impunity in
cases of corruption and the lack of accountability leaves democracy
and legitimacy of institutions in a difficult position. Present article is
intended to analyze the importance of accountability strengthening
in Latin America as a way of improving quality of democracy in
the region and then analyzing the specific case of Argentina, as
an attempt to identify the loopholes within the legal system that
result in important corruption risks and to evaluate the way to
improve this situation.
