The Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation<\/b> has upheld the visitation restrictions<\/b> and electronic monitoring<\/b> (an ankle bracelet) for former president Cristina Fern\u00e1ndez de Kirchner<\/b>, who was sentenced to six years in prison for fraudulent administration related to the Road<\/b> case.<\/p>\n

The court, comprised of judges Gustavo Hornos, Mariano Borinsky, and Diego Barroetave\u00f1a<\/b>, reviewed defense proposals regarding two conditions imposed on the home prison<\/b> modality: the requirement of prior authorization for visits not on an approved list, and the necessity for an electronic surveillance device. They also addressed an appeal from the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which initially sought to revoke house arrest<\/b>.<\/p>\n

During a public hearing, Attorney General Mario Villar withdrew the request to revoke the house arrest<\/b>, believing that Kirchner was complying with the conditions laid out and that the original justifying circumstances were no longer applicable.<\/p>\n

The majority opinion, held by Hornos and Barroetave\u00f1a, emphasized that the visitation restrictions and the ankle monitoring are crucial for ensuring effective judicial control<\/b> and legal protection, addressing both procedural risks and the personal safety of the former president.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Borinsky dissented regarding the need for electronic monitoring and authorizations for visitors, stating that Kirchner benefits from constant protection by the Argentine Federal Police and that electronic devices are limited resources designed for penitentiary use.<\/p>\n

The court stated that house arrest is an exceptional measure subject to permanent judicial oversight. It noted that the conditions could be reconsidered if the case circumstances change. Hornos stressed that compliance with the penalties for corruption must exceed mere formalities and that the law should apply equally, irrespective of the individual’s status, in line with the National Constitution.<\/p>\n

The location of the house arrest remains unchanged, as the judges specified that altering the residence is not within the purview of criminal justice authorities and pertains instead to the administration of Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
