Overview
- The oral proceedings before Tribunal Oral Federal 7 start at 9:30 a.m. local time with online access, with Thursdays devoted to reading the indictments through December and an extra weekly session added from March 3, 2026.
- Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is charged as the alleged leader of an illicit association and bribery scheme tied to public works from 2003 to 2015, alongside former officials and dozens of businessmen.
- The case hinges on driver Óscar Centeno’s notebooks and multiple cooperating witnesses, with a Gendarmería forensic report authenticating the writings as his.
- Judges rejected business leaders’ proposals for financial “reparación integral,” so all accused proceed to a full oral debate expected to last years.
- The scale includes 86 defendants and hundreds of anticipated witnesses, and the court will run the complex, largely virtual trial across the main file and related cases.
