Overview
- The Ministry of Capital Humano announced the formal start of an administrative recovery through ANSES, which notified Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and will claim principal plus interest.
- Officials opted for an administrative process instead of launching a lawsuit for now, describing the procedure as compliant with legal norms.
- Government estimates place the reimbursement at roughly 1,000 million pesos, and Kirchner is expected to respond through legal counsel given her house arrest.
- The action comes days after Judge Karina Alonso Candis denied her request for interim reinstatement of the widow’s benefit in the Social Security court.
- Authorities frame the recovery as enforcing judicial rulings and protecting public funds, noting prior efforts to reclaim privileged pensions from convicted officials.
