The polls have just turned their backs on their party, but Cristina Kirchner has reason to celebrate: the abundant number of judicial causes he faces are shrinking steadily and rapidly. The last was especially valuable, because it was one of the most complex for the former president, who managed to be declared innocent before reaching the trial.
The current vice president was accused of money laundering in a case that involved multimillionary contracts of public works. According to the ruling of the Federal Oral Court who understood in the cause, "the crime of money laundering was not configured because the funds that according to the prosecution would have washed, were never black money: they came from contracts with the State," said the nation .
"The dismissal without trial gets fashionable in the causes of Cristina," Clarín criticized. This was the third dismissal that the Vice President received so far this year. In the previous two it was determined that they were non-justicable political and economic facts. In the last, the facts that were under investigation were the hotel business of the Kirchner with businessmen and state contractors.
According to the Prosecutor's Office, the Kirchners falsely rented rooms from their hotels in Patagonia to whiten the money that Lázaro Báez, the great beneficiary of public works contracts during his government, obtained with overprices and illegal commissions of entrepreneurs. The Prosecutor's Office also complained that the innocence of the former president was being ruled before the oral judgment begins and when there were still pending test measures.
The case also involved the children of the former Head of State. Maximum, spokesman for the Peronist group in the Chamber of Deputies, as a member of the directory of the Kirchner hotel companies. And Florence, without political activity and therefore without fours, because it is also part of the hotel companies.
"The Kirchners were then dismissed without being tried, it is the most pornographic step of the Vice President's Impunity Plan, which since he returned to power, focuses on a good part of his energies in" close "or" suspend "investigations against him", Political analyst Nicolás Wiñazki said.
The court rushed to state judgment and self-imposed a limit of three days, because next month would change its composition and a magistrate to the Kirchnerism, according to Argentine media.
Once known the ruling, a small group of people manifested against the Floor of the Vice President, in the center of Buenos Aires, hitting pans.
Carlos Beraldi, a lawyer of the former president, said the trial was "a clear show of how he has become politically in Argentina in recent years." According to the lawyer, "there is a modus operandi of complaints that are first made through the media and with judges that served that media power."
Hugo Alconada Mon, one of the most prestigious research journalists in the country, does not coincide with Berraldi: "The plot, in essence, could be synthesized: the governments of Néstor and Cristina Kirchner delivered public works contracts at Lázaro Báez, who It was allocated part of those funds to the fictitious rent of hundreds of rooms and lounges in two hotels in the presidential family, between 2008 and 2013, delivering them thus millions of pesos ".
"What did they accuse them? Of integrating a 'criminal association' that 'channeled a portion of what was subtracted into the national state - through the public work of the expression and its family nucleus by means of a washing scheme Money mounted based on the hotel activity that those carried forward '.
Despite absolution, the cause is not dead. There is a possible appeal before a higher court, and it is assumed that this is what will happen.
