Casación Weighs AR$685 Billion Decomiso for Cristina Kirchner as 5-Day Clock Starts

The decision will define whether seizures of identified properties or cash can proceed.

Overview

  • Sala IV received written submissions from both sides without oral arguments, leaving judges Mariano Borinsky, Gustavo Hornos and Diego Barroetaveña to decide within five business days.
  • Prosecutor Mario Villar urged confirmation of TOF2’s AR$684,990,350,139.86 decomiso and backed the CPI-based update calculated by court-appointed experts.
  • Cristina Kirchner’s defense sought to annul the update and suspend execution, challenged the use of the CPI, argued the matter belongs in civil-commercial courts, and cited a defense expert estimate near AR$42 million using Banco Nación passive rates.
  • Prosecutors Diego Luciani and Sergio Mola continue to individualize assets for potential execution, including hotels in El Calafate, the San José 1111 residence, a Recoleta apartment, Madero Center units, and about US$4.6 million seized from Florencia Kirchner.
  • Overlapping measures in Hotesur–Los Sauces and prior asset transfers to her children could complicate enforcement even if Casación upholds the updated decomiso.
