Court Tightens Cristina Kirchner’s House-Arrest Visits After Economists’ Meeting

Judges restricted extraordinary access to safeguard the detention regime, preserving allowances for family, counsel and health care.

Overview

  • Argentina’s TOF 2, led by Judge Jorge Gorini, set immediate limits of two extraordinary visits per week, each capped at two hours with no more than three visitors at a time.
  • The move followed a meeting at San José 1111 where nine specialists delivered a 400-plus-page economic roadmap produced in Partido Justicialista commissions.
  • Cristina Kirchner defended the encounter on social media, saying every attendee was authorized and that she receives no one without prior court approval.
  • The tribunal said the simultaneous group presence distorted the terms of domiciliary arrest and now requires individual, motivated requests specifying date, time and headcount, with quarterly supervision of compliance.
  • Judicial sources said the judges viewed the group visit as a provocation and plan a formal admonition, as debate grows over what political or policy activity is permissible during detention.
