Cristina Kirchner left public office with a net worth of 250 million pesos.
Far from the 4 million that she declared when she assumed the vice presidency in December 2019. The sworn statement was presented to the Anti-Corruption Office of the current administration of Javier Milei.
An O Km car, the usufruct of the apartment in the Recoleta neighborhood and a piece of land in El Calafate, are the most valuable assets, added to
shares of Mercado Libre and Apple
, among others.
Without properties in her name, nor shares in family hotel companies, nor fixed deadlines, Cristina Kirchner declared her largest assets since assuming the vice presidency of the Nation, in December 2019.
After giving her entire fortune in equal parts to her children in March 2016, the former President said goodbye to that fortune of 77 million pesos with which she had left her two presidential terms.
When she took over as vice president of Alberto Fernández, in her first declaration of assets before the Anti-Corruption Office (OA) she claimed to have
only four million pesos.
His assets increased over the years.
The sworn statement corresponding to the 2022 fiscal period exposed 118 million pesos,
at the official exchange rate at that time they represented about 200 thousand dollars.
Now, on January 22 and before the OA directed by Alejandro Melik, he declared an asset of 249,421,220.32 pesos.
When detailing how her fortune is made up, the former vice president declared the acquisition of
a zero kilometer car
that she added to her assets in July of last year.
It is a Corolla Seg Hev 1.8, whose ownership belongs to her 100% and she declared it for a value of 15,333,801.00 pesos.
The more than twenty properties that he had inherited after the succession of former president Néstor Kirchner are no longer part of his assets after the transfer of assets to Máximo and Florencia Kirchner.
He only retains
the usufruct of two real estate properties
, the apartment in the Recoleta neighborhood, which he declares at 35,706,295.51 pesos, and the El Calafate residence, stated at 24,848,436.00 pesos.
The building in Recoleta in which Cristina Kirchner lived, of which she maintains her usufruct.
A curious portfolio of shares
The most striking thing was the declaration of
shares of eleven different companies,
and of the most diverse.
The ones that represent the most money in your assets?
Those of
Mercado Libre, by businessman Marcos Galperín,
constantly criticized by the Kirchnerist government.
Even during Sergio Massa's failed campaign they used the company's brand in a negative way.
Cristina Kirchner has shares of that firm declared at 39,771,286.00 pesos.
But also from one of the main technology brands in the United States:
Apple
.
The former vice president declares that she owns
1,983 shares worth 34,660,857.00 pesos.
He also declared shares of
Vista Oil
(Miguel Galuccio was president of this firm), 1,203 in total for a value of 34,224,147.00 pesos.
The list of companies continues and all of them are between 7 and 9 million pesos of the total declared as assets corresponding to the fiscal period that closed in December 2023.
All the shares were purchased at the same moment:
October 10, 2023,
there were only twelve days left for Sergio Massa to face the general elections against Javier Milei that would lead him to a second round where he was finally defeated by the libertarian leader.
Despite the declared assets, Cristina Kirchner is under a request for confiscation of some 300 million dollars when the sentence for corruption in the Roads case becomes final.
In the foundations of the conviction, the benefit that he obtained in terms of his increase in assets as a result of the irregularities under which he benefited Lázaro Báez with public road works was discussed, among them the overpricing and how a portion of that money was returned to enrich the Kirchner family.
In addition, he must face a trial together with Máximo Kirchner
for alleged money laundering
, a maneuver carried out through the hotels and the family real estate company.
With this background, this week the Federal Court of Cassation confirmed that the former vice president must remain under investigation in the case known as Money Route K, in which Lázaro Báez was sentenced to 10 years in prison for
having laundered 55 million dollars .
A fortune suspected for years
For three and a half years, Cristina declared an asset lower than what she had, even when she arrived with Néstor Kirchner at the Casa Rosada: at that time the Kirchner couple declared an asset of 6,851,810 pesos.
In 2019 she said she had $9.7 million.
The following year, she 16.4 million pesos.
In the 2021 fiscal period, her fortune rose to 48.6 million pesos and finally this year it exceeds 118 million pesos.
In 2021,
Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti gave up reopening the investigation into the
vice president's assets for alleged illicit enrichment that had been closed in 2008 in a few months and under suspicion.
In Comodoro Py, it was also determined that there was no fraudulent insolvency when she decided to part with her assets and transfer them to her children.
At the time, the expert Eduardo Blanco Álvarez had observed that of the assets that were around 28 million pesos there was an increase in one year of more than 24 million without documentation to support it.
This assessment coincides with the statement of the repentant accountant Víctor Manzanares, who in his confession in the Cuadernos case recalled his fear over
the lack of documentation regarding the purchase of real estate
, as well as some inconsistencies in the fixed deadlines.
But none of that will be investigated again.
