Overview
- Sala II of the Comodoro Py Federal Chamber affirmed the pretrial processing of the former president in an investigation into alleged irregularities in state insurance contracting.
- The court also upheld the processing of broker Héctor Martínez Sosa and his wife, María Cantero, who served as Fernández’s private secretary.
- The ruling centers on alleged negotiations incompatible with public office and the use of Martínez Sosa as an intermediary in contracts linked to Nación Seguros.
- Judges Martín Irurzun and Eduardo Farah formed the majority, and a travel ban and an asset embargo of ARS 14,634,220,283 on Fernández remain in force.
- With the confirmation in place, prosecutors can seek to elevate the case to an oral and public trial, though additional appeals may still be pursued.
