Overview

• The Supreme Court confirmed Kirchner’s six-year prison term for awarding public contracts to businessman Lázaro Báez during her 2007–2015 presidency.
• Her conviction nullifies a recent legislative bid intended to grant her parliamentary immunity ahead of October’s elections.
• At 72 years old Kirchner will serve the sentence under house arrest and must notify the court of her confinement address within five working days.
• President Javier Milei praised the ruling on social media with the terse declaration “Justice. End.”
• Kirchner denounced the justices as a “triumvirate of unpresentables” and is exploring an appeal to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
