A significant moment in his career came in June 2006 when he was appointed as the federal prosecutor in charge of the Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor?s Office in Tres de Febrero, Buenos Aires Province, a position he held until December 2007.

During this period, he led investigations into complex crimes. Subsequently, from December 2007 to February 2010, he served as Undersecretary of Investigations and Criminal Intelligence at the Ministry of Security of Buenos Aires Province.

From February 2010 onwards, Starc resumed his role as federal prosecutor in Buenos Aires Province, further strengthening his expertise in managing complex investigations.
