BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - A prosecutor asked to investigate Argentine President Mauricio Macri on Tuesday over a deal to resolve debt the country's postal service incurred with the government when it was owned by Macri's father.

A judge will decide whether or not to open an investigation, which could hurt centre-right Macri's party in congressional elections later this year.
