The judicial year begins: the key definitions of Comodoro Py and the Supreme Court, which must decide on sensitive issues for Cristina Kirchner

2023-02-01T15:11:58.229Z


They range from future dollar to the trial that Máximo and Florencia K. must face. In addition, on March 9 the grounds of their conviction in the Highway case will be known.


Kirchnerism is determined to move forward with the request for impeachment of the members of the Supreme Court.

The determination responds to a specific fact:

the judicial future of the vice president at various times will be in the hands of the highest court

.

In an election year where a new presidential turn is defined, the Judiciary must resolve sensitive cases involving

Cristina Kirchner

's children as well as other files for alleged acts of corruption that have her as the main defendant.

This February 1, judicial activity resumed, after the usual fair.

The political scenario is marked by the confrontation between the Executive Power and the Judicial Power, which has a request for impeachment in Congress against the ministers of the Court.

The federal justice that deals with corruption cases has several decisions to make in this first stage of the year that

involve the vice president and in two files, her children Máximo and Florencia Kirchner

, as well as her former business partner Lázaro Báez.

One of the first resolutions that could be known is that of Chamber IV of the Chamber of Cassation regarding the sentence of twelve years in prison for Báez, accused of having laundered 55 million dollars.

These laundering operations were carried out through Austral Construcciones, the company that won the 51 road tenders with irregularities for 46,000 million pesos.

In the conviction, two of the judges of the Federal Oral Court 4 (TOF 4) indicated that the predicate offense of these laundering maneuvers are irregularities in public road works: the trial in which Cristina Kirchner ended up sentenced to six years of prison for the crime of fraudulent administration to the detriment of the State.

If the highest criminal court comes to confirm this statement, in Comodoro Py they maintain that it will give greater strength to the sentence against the vice president when the case is reviewed -after the corresponding appeals- by the Chamber of Cassation.

Although judicial sources made a distinction "they are two files that were processed separately and whose oral debates were carried out in this way."

The Chamber of Cassation is the instance prior to reaching the Supreme Court of Justice with any claim.

For this reason, in the case of the Money Route K, the decision made by Chamber IV will have one more possibility for the parties to complain, which is the highest court.


Reading the grounds of the conviction

While a ruling on the case that resulted in a twelve-year sentence against Lázaro Báez is awaited,

on March 9 the Federal Oral Court 2 (TOF 2) that sentenced the Vice President of the Nation to six years in prison, will read the grounds of the sentence.

That day, the elements taken into account by judges Jorge Gorini, Andrés Basso and Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu will be known, to

sustain -unanimously- that Cristina Kirchner was responsible for having defrauded the State, generating damage of 80,000 million

pesos.

This structure had Lázaro Báez as a beneficiary with 51 road contracts "granted irregularly" and with "overprices", it was determined during the oral debate.

In addition, that day, it will be known based on what arguments two of the judges resolved that the vice president was not responsible for the crime of illicit association as head.

It was only one of the magistrates, Andrés Basso, who considered that said accusation should also be attributed to him.


The cause that began with the complaint of Nisman

Room I of the Chamber of Cassation will be responsible, in this first stage of the year, for resolving

two sensitive cases for the vice

.

In the first place, they must pronounce on the dismissal without carrying out the oral trial that

Cristina Kirchner obtained in the case known as the Pact with Iran.

In this file, the vice president was prosecuted and sent to trial for the crime of covering up the attack on the AMIA headquarters.

However, the TOF 8 dismissed all the defendants without conducting the oral debate.

Precisely, the Cassation must determine if that decision is final or if it will order that the trial be carried out as required by the complainants.

The Kirchner companies

The same discussion is given based on the Hotesur and Los Sauces case.

These are the two family businesses in which the Kirchners were prosecuted and sent to trial for money laundering.

The accusation maintains that they simulated commercial agreements through the real estate and hotel sector with the sole purpose of carrying out laundering operations.

Lázaro Báez and Cristóbal López intervened in them.

Two TOF 5 judges -Daniel Obligado and Adrián Grunberg- signed the dismissal for the Kirchner family and the other defendants, without holding the trial.

Chamber I must decide whether the vice president and her children will defend themselves in an oral debate instance or if they will leave the Court's resolution firm.


Another sensitive case: the Bribery Notebooks

Regarding the cases already brought to trial and awaiting a start date, there is the one known as the Cuadernos de las Bribes.

The Federal Oral Court 7 that is in charge of the file, will request four more contracts from the Supreme Court in the coming weeks.

The request will be to move more quickly towards the initiation of the oral trial.

For this to happen, judicial sources told Clarín, "more human resources are needed."

The Supreme Court is responsible for appointing the extra personnel that the Courts require.

To date, the so-called "mother case" in which the vice president is prosecuted as head of an illegal association that was dedicated to the collection of illegal funds (bribes), has the request of all parties and the prosecutor Fabiana León de los witnesses and the measures of evidence that are required prior to the start of the trial.

There are three other sections, related cases, on which the Court requested the offering of evidence for the parties to suggest.

This means that the TOF is determined to carry out the trial and that they seek to print speed to set a date to start the oral debate.

The attack against Cristina Kirchner

In the Investigating Court in charge of

María Eugenia Capuchetti, the cause that investigates the attack against the vice president is being processed

.

It is expected that the four defendants will be sent to trial.

Three of them are in custody: Fernando Sabag Montiel (responsible for firing twice 15 centimeters from the vice president's head), Brenda Uliarte (her partner) and Nicolás Carrizo (identified as the "boss" of the drinks).

The three are on trial and the accusations already confirmed by the higher court, of attempted aggravated homicide by use of a firearm -in the case of the young man who carried the Bersa pistol-, as necessary participants the other two responsible, also aggravated by planning crime.

In the last week, Cristina Kirchner once again challenged the magistrate in this case, who maintained that -so far- there are no elements to link those responsible for the Federal Revolution with the attempted murder.

The public actions of the Federal Revolution are investigated by federal judge Marcelo Martínez De Giorgi.

The separation of the files is something that the vice criticizes, who insists on the unification and on the displacement of Capuchetti in the face of the investigation.


The role of the Court

The Supreme Court of Justice also has important decisions in its hands.

On the one hand

, it must rule on the Future Dollar case and determine whether Cristina Kirchner will go to trial or leave the dismissal issued

by the Court of Cassation two years ago.

On the other hand, it must

respond to the proposals of the Government of Alberto Fernández on the precautionary measure granted to the Buenos Aires administration

regarding co-participating funds.

It must be remembered that unanimously, the Court issued a precautionary measure by which it ordered that 2.95% of the mass of co-participating funds be delivered to the City (remember that the City requests 3.50 as a fund request) and that such transfers are made daily and automatically by the Banco de la Nación Argentina.

Consequently, it ordered the suspension of Law 27,606 that had reduced the participation of that jurisdiction.

However, the Government continued to pay 1.4%.

This represents about 500 million pesos per day.

The City should be receiving, based on what was ordered by the Court, about 1,050 million pesos per day.

In addition, President Alberto Fernández proposed paying with 90-day bonds.

The City rejected this measure before the Court, understanding that the Co-participation is a daily drip that all the provinces receive at the beginning of the day, it is liquid money that is deposited in the public coffers.

In its arguments, the City said that the Ley de Coparticipación prohibits any other payment methodology.

This claim is in the hands of the Supreme Court.

Now the highest court has to resolve a proposal by the Executive Branch, through which it asked to challenge the four ministers of the Court and, on the other hand, requested the reversal of the ruling that ordered them to pay 2.95% of the co-participating funds.

Simultaneously, the courtiers have to rule on the City's proposal, through which it rejects the payment methodology through the bonds and, on the other hand, the claim for the money that should have been received since December 22: the debt exceeds 22,000 million pesos.
