It is an administrative procedure, but it implies one more step in the course of the case that ended with the conviction of Cristina Kirchner for corruption in public road works contracts in Santa Cruz, for which she is sentenced to six years in prison. .
Five business days after both the vice president and the prosecutor Luciani presented their appeals
to erase and aggravate that sentence respectively,
Room IV of the Federal Criminal Cassation Chamber reported this Wednesday that the
file is already in their hands
and the process began. to process those appeals.
The president of Chamber IV,
Gustavo Hornos
, informed the parties in the "Roads" case of their filing in that Court, and ordered them to maintain their appeals.
There they will be received by him and his two colleagues,
Javier Carbajo and Mariano Borinsky.
In addition to Cristina, those who appeared in Cassation were the defense of
Lázaro Báez
, who challenged the sentence of 6 years in prison;
Mauricio Collareda
, who questioned the 4-year sentence;
Raúl Daruich
, who appealed the sentence of 3 years and 6 months;
José López
, who objected to the 6-year prison sentence;
Raúl Pavesi
, who appealed the sentence to 4 and a half years;
the former head of National Highway
Nelson Periotti
, who questioned the sentence to 6 years in prison;
José Raúl Santibáñez
, who challenged the 4-year sentence;
and
Juan Carlos Villafane
, who challenged the 5-year sentence.
All were sentenced -in different degrees of participation- as guilty of
fraudulent administration to the detriment of the public administration.
In turn, as we said, the representative of the Public Prosecutor's Office, Diego Luciani
, also appeared before the Federal Cassation
, who appealed the acquittals of Cristina Kirchner, Lázaro Báez, José López, and Nelson Periotti for the crime of illicit association, for the that he had accused everyone in his final argument but that in the sentence he was only accepted by judge
Andrés Basso
, while a majority made up of his colleagues
Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu
and
Jorge Gorini
rejected it.
Luciani also challenged the acquittals of
Abel Fatala and Héctor Jesús Garro
regarding the crime of fraudulent administration, and of
Julio De Vido
for fraudulent administration and illicit association.
The prosecutor also did not accept the acquittal of
Carlos Santiago Kirchner
in this file, nor his dismissal due to prescription regarding the crime of breach of the duties of a public official.
With the elevation to Cassation and the notification of the filing of the case in Chamber IV of the Highest Federal Criminal Court of the country,
one of the final stages of the judicial process begins
in which the responsibility of high officials of the National State in the road cause.
