Court Lets Máximo and Florencia Kirchner Weigh In Before Asset Seizures in Vialidad Case

The court cited due process to safeguard property rights, aiming to prevent annulments.

Overview

  • Tribunal Oral Federal No. 2 notified all convicted parties and the two heirs to state their positions on a first inventory of assets to cover AR$684,990,350,137.86.
  • Judges Jorge Gorini and Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu rejected prosecutors Diego Luciani and Sergio Mola’s request to move directly to auctions without hearing the defenses.
  • The panel warned that skipping hearings could invalidate the process and criticized the prosecution’s submissions as highly rhetorical with little procedural relevance.
  • The prosecution’s initial list cites more than 140 assets, including over 100 linked to Lázaro Báez, about 20 properties associated with Cristina Kirchner in Santa Cruz, and US$5.6 million identified as funds transferred to Florencia.
  • Only assets incorporated during the proven scheme from 2003 to December 2015 are eligible for execution, and no sales have been executed yet.
