Los Sauces-Hotesur: The Court of Cassation rejected Cristina Kirchner’s appeal to refer the case to the Supreme Court

Today, the Federal Criminal Court of Cassation rejected the appeals submitted by the Vice President of the State, christina kershner, Other defendants were brought forward The country’s Supreme Court will review the ruling Which annulled the isolation of the accused and ordered an oral trial.

“The decision which the Supreme Court of Justice of the country requests to be reconsidered cannot be declared, since what has been resolved in this first chamber does not constitute a final ruling and cannot be considered similar to that, it does not put an end to the proceeding, does not prevent its continuation, and does not establish the party Loss of subsequent compensation is impossible or insufficient.” Diego Baroitafina, Daniel Petrone, and Javier Carbajo In his ruling, which he approved information.

In any case, The defense can go directly to the Supreme Court through another appeal, which is the source of the complaint. So they have a deadline of five.

In mid-September, the Court of Cassation annulled the dismissal of Christina Kirchner and thirty other defendants in the case and ordered an oral trial. It was the only exception Florence Kirchner To which the court confirmed the dismissal. Judges Baroitafina and Petroni noted that the case was closed with what were described as new elements, but in their opinion this was not the case and that it should be analyzed in an oral trial.

In both cases, the companies Hotesur and Los Sauces – belonging to the Kirchner family – are being investigated for alleged money laundering and illicit association in connection with the leasing of their hotels and properties to businessmen. Lazaro Baez, Cristobal Lopez, and Fabian de Souza. The accusation is that the rents came in exchange for public works their companies received during the governments of Nestor and Cristina Kirchner. One of the accused is National MP Máximo Kirchner.

Cristina Kirchner, her son Baez, Lopez, de Souza and other defendants appealed to the Supreme Court to intervene. Defense of the Vice President-designate Alberto Beraldi and Ari lernovoy, He asked to cancel the decision because it had been issued Without the intervention of the judge Ana Maria FigueroaWho was struck down by the country’s Supreme Court for being 75 years old – the maximum age set by the national constitution – without new approval from the Senate, which was obtained last week.

On appeal, the defense raised other arguments to reach the Supreme Court. He noted that in both cases there were coordinated actions against Christina Kirchner “From the political, media and judicial sectors associated with the government of Mauricio Macri.” The Court of Cassation also did not properly evaluate the evidence with which the oral courts dictated the dismissal decisions.

But the cassation rejected it because none of the requirements for reaching the highest court in this case were met. The first is that it is a final ruling – the file is still open – and the second is that there is arbitrariness in the decision. They explained that “it is necessary to prove the serious defects in the appealed decision, which make it ineligible as a valid judicial act, and which the bidders were unable to prove,” and added that “the appellants based their appeals on the re-issuance of statements” that they obtained an adequate response and in rulings that violated the approved standard. “This does not necessarily mean proving the existence of a direct and immediate relationship between the subject of the lawsuit and the federal case they invoke.”

The judges also noted that in this case there was no violation of the reasonable period for adjudicating the truth – the cases go back to 2014 and 2016 – and “it has not been observed or proven that the presumption of institutional seriousness was formed in the case in order to enable the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Justice of the country.”

The defenses now have five days to go directly to the Supreme Court. Through the complaint resource.

When Cassación reopened Los Sauces-Hotesur, it removed the judges of the Federal Oral Court 5 who had issued dismissal decisions because they had already given their opinion. We are Daniel Obligado And Adrian Grunberg. The second is no longer in court because he took the place as a substitute. Obligado was located yesterday and the judge was out Jose Michelini.

In the “Los Sauces-Hotesur” case, there are already two other judges in the oral court. One is Adriana Paliottiwho voted for oral trial when his colleagues accepted the dismissal, and Fernando Canero. Palliotti is a TOF 5 holder so he will continue in this case. But Caneiro is a substitute and his replacement expires on December 1, so on that date another judge will be chosen.

The same thing that was resolved by discrimination in this file was signed by signing the memorandum of understanding with Iran. Yesterday, the cassation refused to bring the case to the Supreme Court, at the same time that the judges were summoned to join the Federal Oral Court 8. They left. Andres Basso, Rodrigo Giménez Oberoro, and Javier Ríos. The first two, along with Georgie Gorini, Cristina Kirchner was sentenced last December to six years in prison and permanently barred from holding public office in the case of public work Baez received for Santa Cruz.
