Overview
- Cristina Kirchner filed a Supreme Court complaint seeking to scrap her electronic ankle monitor and the requirement to preclear most visitors to her home.
- The defense move follows a July 11 decision by Casación that kept the monitoring and visitor limits in place, with Judge Mariano Borinsky in dissent.
- Casación scheduled a September 11 hearing where Judges Borinsky, Gustavo Hornos and Diego Barroetaveña will review challenges to the confiscation amount.
- Court-appointed experts set the decomiso near AR$600 billion using the INDEC consumer price index, a method the defense argues inflates the figure compared with Banco Nación passive rates.
- The conviction is final and Kirchner remains under home detention with electronic monitoring, while her lawyers also seek to recuse Justices Ricardo Lorenzetti, Horacio Rosatti and Carlos Rosenkrantz.
