Overview
- Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is tried as the alleged leader of an illicit association and for bribery, alongside former ministers and dozens of businessmen.
- Proceedings before Federal Oral Tribunal 7 are streamed on official channels via Zoom and YouTube due to space constraints, with weekly Thursday hearings and additional Tuesdays from March 3, 2026.
- Prosecutor Fabiana León leads the case, calling it the most extensive corruption investigation in Argentina’s judicial history, built on extensive documents and cooperating witnesses.
- The case stems from notebooks kept by chauffeur Oscar Centeno and includes allegations of hundreds of illicit payments tied to state contracts across construction, energy and transport.
- The first phase is devoted to reading the indictments and evidence, with a debate expected to last several years and Kirchner participating remotely from house detention.
