Overview

• The Sala IV of Argentina’s Cámara Federal de Casación Penal confirmed that Cristina Kirchner will remain under house arrest at San José 1111 with an electronic ankle monitor and restricted visits.
• Majority judges Gustavo Hornos and Diego Barroetaveña held that both the anklet and pre-approved visitor regime are legally grounded measures to ensure effective oversight and personal security.
• Judge Mariano Borinsky dissented, asserting that full-time police custody and Kirchner’s public profile eliminate flight risk and render the monitor and visit controls disproportionate.
• Prosecutor General Mario Villar withdrew his request to move her to prison after concluding that she was complying with all imposed house arrest conditions.
• The court’s decision explicitly preserves its authority to review or modify her detention modalities if new risks emerge or compliance lapses occur.
