00:00Urgent in A24, bad news for Cristina Fernández.

00:03Yes, the prosecutor Mario Villar, the prosecutor of the House of Appeals,

00:06appealed, presented a request to the Supreme Court,

00:09appealed to the Supreme Court, asking that Cristina's sentence be lifted

00:12to 12 years in prison and perpetual disqualification

00:16to exercise public office, taking into account

00:19that what she is being accused of is the crime of defrauding the state.

00:23How does this come about?

00:24Let's remember the famous double conformity that we are talking about every day.

00:29In other words, the House of Appeals confirmed the sentence

00:32of first instance to six years in prison for Cristina Fernández de Kirchner,

00:36and then there were other sentences, 13 sentences,

00:38for those involved in the case of violence.

00:42Mario Villar, the prosecutor, appeals to this decision

00:46and has no choice but to go directly to the court.

00:50Why can he go to the court and ask for the imprisonment in this case?

00:54Because what comes in this request is a matter of criteria.

00:59You could say, the court cannot carry out new trials.

01:01The trial, in terms of what was decided, what happened is already there.

01:05What comes in this appeal is the criterion of illicit association.

01:09The famous issue of whether or not illicit association is applied to a government

01:14or to the acts that a government generates.

01:16Probably one of the most difficult crimes to prove,

01:18not only for a government, doubly difficult,

01:20but even for private individuals.

01:22It is this thing of the association of two or more people with an intention of being illicit.

01:28Doctrinally, you know this very well,

01:31the explanation of this is that for an illicit association to be set up,

01:36there has to be a group of people who generate, who create,

01:39I'm going to say it as simple as possible, a society to commit crimes.

01:42A government is not created to commit crimes.

01:44That after they commit a crime, it is something else.

01:46Look, I want to add, it is a great pleasure,

01:48a great professional, who is Martin Angulo, who has more information.

01:51Good morning, 24. Martin, how are you?

01:53Hello Luis, how are you? Good morning.

01:55Good. Let's expand this, which was anticipated by Professor Rabanal, please.

01:59Yes, as pointed out,

02:03Prosecutor Mario Villar appealed for the failure of the case,

02:06and what he is asking is that this case be reviewed by the Supreme Court.

02:13And specifically, what the prosecutor is asking the court is that

02:17that sentence of six years in prison,

02:19perpetual disqualification that Cristina has,

02:22be extended to 12 years in prison.

02:24Why? Because the prosecutor is asking

02:27that the crime of illicit association be added to the sentence.

02:30A crime for which Cristina Kirchner,

02:33both in the oral tribunal and at the trial, was acquitted.

02:37I'll add something to you.

02:38Not only will the court receive the prosecutor's request,

02:42but what will be Cristina Kirchner's appeal will also arrive.

02:46Because just as the prosecutor can appeal

02:48that Cristina Kirchner was not convicted of illicit association,

02:52the defense of the ex-president will appeal the sentence.

02:56Cristina will ask the court to absolve her of all the crimes,

03:01which is what she also raised in the trial and in the House of Appeals.

03:05Therefore, the court will have to resolve this case.

03:12It is also obvious, but I think it is important to emphasize it.

03:17After what the court says, no one else will talk on this issue.

03:21The court is the last resort.

03:23What the Supreme Court resolves is what will end up closing the case.

03:30It may be the sentence as it is of Cristina Kirchner,

03:34a conviction for illicit association or absolution.

03:37If Cristina Kirchner is convicted, Luis, you know it very well,

03:41the sentence has to begin to be fulfilled.

03:44This means that Cristina Kirchner will have to be arrested

03:48because the six-year prison sentence is effective,

03:52then it will be discussed whether it is in a prison,

03:54whether it is in a home prison for her age,

03:58and, if you want, in political terms,

04:00that she will never be able to exercise a public office.

04:04There is no expectation that the court will resolve this year.

04:11Let's bear in mind that justice in general and the court in particular

04:16do not have deadlines.

04:18The deadlines are purely computer-generated.

04:20But there is something that the judges, I quote dear prosecutor Federico Delgado,

04:26who said,

04:27justice has clearer electoral calendars than politicians themselves.

04:31I do not see in any way, as you say, that it will resolve,

04:35except with the presentation of the son's office

04:39so that he becomes Minister of the Supreme Court

04:41and the threat of the decree for García Mancilla.

04:44The truth is that it is a strong legal blow for Cristina.

04:48Defect, it seems to me, not practical immediately, right?

04:51Absolutely, because, in addition,

04:54we are telling you that this is going to court.

04:56This is not going to court now.

04:59All appeals have to be submitted,

05:01the parties have to answer the other.

05:03After the case, decide whether this goes to court or not,

05:07that it reaches the court, that the file is made,

05:09that the prosecutor in front of the court,

05:12who is the Attorney General, gives an opinion on all this,

05:14and then resolve.

05:15I give you, if you want, two data to have a mirror.

05:21Carlos Menem had several, to name another ex-president,

05:25with convictions in court.

05:27Carlos Menem died without the court resolving his convictions.

05:30The cause of the overpayments,

05:31the court took six years to resolve it.

05:34And Cristina Kirchner had other presentations in court,

05:38of course not by conviction, this is the first to arrive,

05:41but in other presentations of the cause of viability,

05:44the court took four years to resolve it.

05:48Therefore, this can even take longer than this election year.

05:52Totally.

05:53Anything else, sir, you want to add, Martin?

05:56We are waiting for Cristina Kirchner's appeal,

05:58we are waiting for the appeal of the rest of the parties,

06:02because she can also appeal Lazaro Baez, who was convicted,

06:05she can appeal José López, who was convicted,

06:07obviously they will do it,

06:09and with that, at some point, the file will reach the court.

06:12Good. And in 3, 2, 1, I think, Martin, Professor,

06:16if a Chemi-Ley comes, or a Prosecutor, or a...

06:19Yes, of course, this is the food of the campaign.

06:22Sure, totally.

06:24Well, visit us, Mr. Angulo, when you want,

06:26it will be a pleasure, very well received here.

06:29I will be there when you invite me.
