Civil Court Tosses ARS 22.3 Billion Vialidad Claim Against Cristina Kirchner Over Procedural Lapse

A judge found six months of inactivity and applied caducidad, leaving intact the separate criminal confiscation efforts.

Overview

  • Judge Marcelo Bruno dos Santos accepted the defense request and declared caducidad under Article 310 after the civil case went inactive for six months.
  • The archiving lifts the specific civil indemnity sought since 2018 by Vialidad Nacional, though the agency can appeal to the Federal Civil and Commercial Chamber.
  • The Milei administration opposed the caducidad ruling and signaled plans to challenge it and pursue updated recovery routes.
  • The criminal conviction remains in force with a six-year sentence, a lifetime disqualification, and a decomiso estimated around ARS 684 billion under active enforcement.
  • TOF 2 rejected Cristina Kirchner’s bid to halt execution of assets as Casación reviews challenges to the confiscation’s calculation method.
