Cristina Kirchner will have to appear in Comodoro Py to be notified of the ruling in the Road Case

Cristina Kirchner must be presented in the Courts of Comodoro Py to be able to be notified with the corresponding formality about the ruling that condemns her within the framework of the Road Cause. It is that, although the Federal Chamber of Cassation confirmed the conviction of Federal Oral Court 2the formal requirement of “personally notify the accused”.

Last Friday, TOF 2 was in charge of sending a electronic ID card for all defense lawyersin order to inform them how the resolution should be complied with. There it was specified that Casación gave him a period of 72 business hours for the accused to appear.

“Call for this purpose all of the accused so that they appear before the court’s entry table within 72 business hours following your notification”, displays the notification that reported the situation.

This measure does not only include the former president. All those convicted or acquitted in the case must appear in Comodoro Py. The first was already Nelson Periottiformer head of the National Highway Directorate and sentenced to six years in prison, who came in the morning to be notified of the Cassation ruling.

Cristina Kirchner: “I am willing to pay the punishment they want to impose on me”

The former president Cristina de Kirchner led an event for Militant Day of the PJ in Santiago del Estero where he referred to the ruling of the Criminal Cassation Chamber, which ratified his sentence of 6 years in prison and perpetual disqualification from holding public office for the Road Cause. “They will never forgive me,” he said after highlighting some of his administration’s policies and assured that the sentence and “the ban is the return of those decisions.”

However, he emphasized: “I am willing to pay the punishment they want to impose on me, they are not going to make me regret anything I did.“.

The event took place within the framework of Militancy Day and provided a bit of historical recapitulation. “On November 17 Perón returned to the homeland after spending 18 years outlawed. That’s why I want us to be able to look at history in its entirety so that we don’t stay with today’s photography. Perhaps today’s photography will be more understandable to us if we see the complete film“He said, comparing Perón’s ban with the judicial process he is going through.

“Like every responsible leadership, like that of Peron, that gave dignity to the workers, then they had to tear it down and ban it. Then we came, who came to give the workers more than 50% participation in the GDP and we returned to recover the national heritage. Therefore, because we pay the IMF, because we do not lower our pants with the vulture fundsbecause the workers once again had participation in GDP and because we became an example country when we raised the flags of Memory, Truth and Justice. They will never forgive me. Condemnation and banning are the return of those decisions. “They are not going to make me regret anything I did,” he remarked.

The Chamber of Cassation ratified the conviction of Cristina Kirchner

Chamber IV of the Criminal Cassation Chamber of Comodoro Py ratified the nine convictions for defrauding the State, among them confirmed Cristina Kirchner’s six years in prison and her perpetual disqualification from holding public office. The parties now have ten days to appeal, and it is assumed that the former president’s defense will appeal to the Supreme Court. Therefore, until that instance is exhausted, he will not go to prison. Cassation also confirmed the four acquittals.

Although one of the judges ruled in favor of the prosecution’s claim to apply the figure of illicit association, which would have increased the sentence against Cristina to twelve years in prison, the other two votes were inclined to confirm the ruling of the Federal Oral Court 2 of December 6, 2022.

In a hearing that lasted just ten minutes, the judges Gustavo Hornos, Mariano Borinsky and Diego Barroetaveña They read the sentence in one of the rooms of the Comodoro Py Courts. Only some of the accused attended the event, while Cristina Kirchner’s defense lawyers sent a letter minutes before, in which they announced that they would follow the hearing remotely.

The complete ruling, of 1,543 pages, was sent to the parties at the time of reading the operative part.

The votes and arguments were in the same terms as those of the trial court. The judges Jorge Gorini, Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu and Andrés Basso They had acknowledged in a 1,661-page ruling that they found no direct evidence against the former president and that the official expert opinion that determined overpricing had not been conclusive. However, they moved forward with the convictions based on “indigent evidence.”
