Cuadernos Trial Resumes With Core Accusation as UIF Calls Cristina Kirchner 'Principal Architect'

Prosecutors outlined a decade-long dual cash-collection scheme centered in the Planning Ministry, citing cooperating witnesses and naming Roberto Baratta as an operational hub.

Overview

  • TOF No. 7 restarted the seventh hearing by continuing the public reading of the fiscal indictment, including the prosecution’s assessment of cooperating-witness testimony.
  • The indictment describes two complementary channels: collections by officials tied to Roberto Baratta and his team, and returns coordinated by financial intermediaries such as Carlos Wagner, Ernesto Clarens and José López.
  • According to the case narrative, cash flows allegedly ended at an apartment on Uruguay 1306 or at the Olivos residence, where Daniel Muñoz was said to receive funds on behalf of top authorities.
  • The reading cited firms including Panedile, Faraday, Secco and JCR, and detailed a 2010 episode involving Hugo Alberto Dragonetti, with prosecutors estimating multimillion-dollar payments in that segment of the scheme.
  • After judges rejected Julio De Vido’s recusation as inadmissible, the court proceeded virtually and later read the UIF’s filing, which asserts Cristina Fernández de Kirchner led the organization and references deliveries corroborated by witnesses such as Claudio Uberti, Ernesto Clarens and Carlos Wagner.
