Prosecutor Moves to Seize Kirchner’s House-Arrest Apartment After Viral Outing Video

Court officials say the outing was an authorized medical visit under monitoring.

Overview

  • Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was filmed returning to her San José 1111 residence on Wednesday after a court-cleared dental check, according to judicial sources.
  • She walked from a car with four escorts in plain clothes, including longtime custodian Diego Carbone, and no uniformed police were visible in the clip shared on TikTok.
  • Under Argentina’s rules for home detention, judges can allow medical trips, the Federal Penitentiary Service tracks compliance with an ankle monitor, and her Federal Police custodians handle movements outside the home.
  • Following Friday’s online furor over the video, prosecutor Diego Luciani asked to add the San José 1111 apartment to assets slated for seizure in the Vialidad case, a step that could force her to serve the sentence at another property if approved.
  • Supporters rallied at the building on Saturday under the “Cristina Libre” banner and she greeted them from a balcony, as defense appeals on asset seizures and detention terms continue toward the Supreme Court.
