The General Inspection of Justice (IGJ), led by the Kirchner lawyer Ricardo Nissen,

from an appeal before the Court, which the same body had presented during the macrista administration, to force the Instituto Patria de Cristina Kirchner to report

.

Faced with the controversial withdrawal of the accusing party, the Supreme Court of Justice had no option and

.

Among almost 200 rulings, the highest court decided that “attentive to what was stated by the defendant, it

at fs.

628 / 647vta., Which was granted to fs.

663/664 ".

For this reason, the court decided "to admit the withdrawal made by the defendant."

The case was titled "Instituto Patria Pensamiento Acción y Trabajo para la Inclusión Americana Civil Association c / IGJ 1899459/7544628/7734718/921/922 s / direct appeal to the camera."

The IGJ is the government body in

but since December 2019 it has been led by Nissen, who

, among others.

Thus, the IGJ follows the trend set by the Anti-Corruption Office, led by Félix Crous, who decided to withdraw as a plaintiff in a corruption trial.

Since 2016, and after a complaint from former GEN deputy Margarita Stolbizer and her advisor Silvina Martínez, the Patria

.

The first response was that a long list of members of the "Patria" paid 500 pesos a month to finance it, but

.

The complaint included a discussion between Cristina and Oscar Parrilli in the famous recorded conversation in which the vice president mistreated the current senator of the Frente de Todos with bad words.

However, the lawyer Martínez opened a second case against Nissen in which she obtained protection from a judge in the Federal Administrative Litigation so that they give her the information about the Homeland.

Martínez told

that the judge is going to claim the data under warning of reporting it for concealment.

The lawyer said, on the other hand, that with "this withdrawal before the Court,

also

Nissen

. An official cannot withdraw from an appeal like that."

Martínez also said that he denounced before the Justice "that the shifts to be attended at the IGJ

."

She said that companies are concerned because there are few shifts due to the coronavirus but that she entered Mercado Libre and, posing as an interested party, bought a shift for next week.

2018, the Instituto Patria, which has Cristina Kirchner as honorary president, received an intimation from the IGJ, when it was in the orbit of the macrista Minister of Justice German Garavano for

the list of its partners and informing who the contributors are, such as All civil societies do, which allowed more than $ 1.7 million in social contributions to enter the space accounting in 2017.

"Quota receipts and voluntary contributions

were detected

," said Macrista government sources at the time. The objective was to determine if the contributions received "justify the support" of the political bunker K. It was the second time in a few months that the Patria Institute , located in a petit hotel on Rodríguez Peña Street, received a wake-up call: The first time, the IGJ ordered them to publish the penalty in a major newspaper.

The new fine was due to the lack of documentation on the list of partners.

The IGJ insisted on having this information to check whether the contributions received as social contributions "justify the support of the space."

In an inspection carried out a few months later, receipts "of doubtful origin" were found in the Homeland for "social contributions and voluntary contributions."

In addition, it was observed that, in order

, payments are split "to avoid detection and / or reporting procedures of said operations."

Then, the Accounting Department of the IGJ demanded the "individualization of contributors from April 7, 2016 to December 2017".

The lists provided by the institution were classified as

by the agency since it was not specified who the contributors are, the items paid, or the period to which they correspond.

Oscar Parrilli, president of the Patria, said that providing such information would violate the personal data law.

The IGJ insisted that they must submit the registration of associates since they have "permanent supervision over the institution," official sources explained.

The numbers are not clear to the IGJ.

In 2016, when they obtained legal status, the institute declared income of $ 2,367,232 ($ 1,280,140 correspond to social contributions).

There are fees of $ 500 for active members, $ 1,000 for full members, and $ 200 for so-called benefactors.

In 2017, the Patria received $ 1,783,910 for membership fees, $ 251,000 in donations and more than $ 283,000 for “social events”, among other income.

One of the main expenses that the Institute has is the rent of

from that time, as declared in its balance sheets.

Then a case was opened in the civil jurisdiction that ended in favor of Cristina.

Then, in June 2018, the then government requested impeachment for

for three judges of the Civil Chamber.

They are the chambermaids Víctor Liberman, Gabriela Iturbide and Marcela Pérez Pardo.

Members of Chamber L of that jurisdiction had given judicial endorsement to the Patria Institute - Cristina Kirchner's political command - to keep the data of its associates in reserve.

The General Inspectorate of Justice (IGJ), dependent on the Ministry of Justice, asked the Council of the Magistracy to suspend those chambermaids on the grounds that they issued a "political ruling" and required that they be charged before a jury.

"The sentence is flawed with partiality and arbitrariness," said the executive branch.

However, the Magistracy

the complaint.

During the electoral campaign last year, the Justice discovered that an employee of the Patria had found

, but the origin of those funds was never bought.

At the beginning of 2020, the lawyer Martínez -complainant in the Hotesur and Los Sauces cases- pointed out that three internal directors of the General Inspection of Justice (IGJ)

.

"They were ordered from above, in retaliation," Martinez said in reference to the displaced personnel.

At the same time, in a resolution the Deputy Minister of Justice and former AFI number two Juan Martín Mena argued, among other issues, that

.

And that, in addition, always according to what the IGJ informed him, the disclosure before the citizen request to know the last balance of the Homeland would put at risk the right to defense of those who could be involved in a judicial investigation, which could also be affected if he knew what should not be known.

He also assured that part of those documents were under the category of "reserved".
