Overview
- Attorney Gregorio Dalbón submitted a criminal complaint in Buenos Aires accusing President Javier Milei of abuse of authority under Article 248 of the Penal Code.
- Dalbón bases the filing on Milei’s LN+ interview with Luis Majul, where the president said he was “the first president who took the decision that [Cristina Kirchner] go to prison.”
- Lawyer Valeria Carreras filed a separate complaint the same day, with both cases to be processed by the federal courts at Comodoro Py.
- Dalbón urges Milei’s questioning and cites Article 366 of federal criminal procedure to argue for review of Kirchner’s conviction, framing the statement as an admission that undermines judicial independence.
- The remarks were made while discussing the controversy involving José Luis Espert, and the complaints are at the initial intake stage with no judicial rulings yet.
