Argentine Court Moves to Limit Visits to Cristina Kirchner During House Arrest

The change follows a group photo at her Buenos Aires home that judges considered a provocation, according to judicial-source reports.

Overview

  • TN, citing judicial sources, reports that the TOF 2 unanimously agreed on a stricter regime capping visitors to three or four at a time and limiting visits to one or two per week.
  • Judges Jorge Gorini, Gustavo Giménez Uriburu and Andrés Basso also agreed to issue formal warnings for any breach of the new visit rules, according to the same reports.
  • The reassessment was triggered by a photo of Kirchner meeting with nine or ten economists on the Day of the Militant, which sources said was never authorized as a group visit.
  • Until now, most requests were approved individually through her lawyer Carlos Beraldi, while a standing list allowed family members, lawyers, doctors and custodial staff to enter without prior authorization, later expanded to include accountants and legal proxies.
  • Judicial sources told outlets that individual request filings masked the coordinated group meeting, prompting tighter controls to prevent similar gatherings.
