The trial is virtual and more contentious as the proceedings were suspended during Carnival, leading to outrage in the courtroom.

Controversy over implementation decision De facto oral trial in the Quadernos casespaced apart Public hearing once a week It caused controversy due to its length of 4 hours, Nuisance in the Supreme Court, the Judicial Council and a division of the Federal Court of Cassation. They are the highest branch of the judiciary.

How this process will unfold for now is determined by a resolution made by the judges of Federal Oral Court No. 7. Prosecutor Fabiana León opposed trying the defendants this way in the biggest corruption case in Argentina’s history.To. The judges are now under scrutiny for the way they have chosen to carry out this process, including by informed public opinion expressed on networks, and criticism will likely deepen further.

Only the first hearing was passed, but that alone was enough to show that the accused enjoyed comfort that could never be achieved in other courts during the oral hearing stage of complex and common crimes. clarion From an undisputed judicial source who knows the untold intrigue of this story, we can learn what virtuality and spaced hearings have caused. Outrage on part of the court and the rest of the appellate court.

The judges in charge of the court are Enrique Mendes Signori, German Castelli, Fernando Canelothey have already canceled one of the few hearings scheduled for a Thursday next February. By chance that week, It’s the Carnival holiday, but since it’s going to be a long holiday, orders have already been given to cancel the workday.. Given that Cuadernos’ trial was already stretched too long, with hearings held weekly via Zoom, even officials with decades of experience in federal courts were surprised that one of them was canceled because it “coincided” with Carnival. Canceling Carnival: A decision without metaphor.

TOF 7 determines all oral processes virtually without much explanation.. They are, for example, responsible for delivering justice in other related corruption cases. Odebrecht incident. The trial will also be held virtually, but hearings will be held every other Monday. On the 15th day after returning to Japan, a public hearing was held. This was revealed by a judicial official in a related position. clarion TOF 7 members’ bosses suggested they could be excluded from the draw to avoid having to decide new cases at the oral stage, but a majority of members rejected the proposal. Judges receive premium pay when filling vacancies in other courts. ““They should reconsider this situation.”complained court officials. clarion: “Cuadernos is a transcendent corruption case. It is in the defendant’s interest that the trial is held on Zoom and is held once a week.”

For example, during the first trial, Juan Manuel Uveira, the lawyer for businessman Oscar Thomas, asked former President Cristina Kirchner to finish reading the bribery charges because he had other commitments. The reading of the elevation to trial was halted. There are three paragraphs left until the conclusion.

oral and public trial of notebook cause It started last week. It is a milestone for the judiciary. No corruption trial has ever been held So many people accused of political and economic power, witnesses, evidence and expertise;and another variable that also influences procedural temporal development and media: Twenty-six defendants in this case declared they were “repentant.”. They included leading businessmen and officials closely connected to the power and intimacy of the Kirchner family, including the former presidential family’s accountant. Two of them are not expected to speak at trial.

One is because he was killed. nothing more, nothing less Fabian Gutierrez, Christina’s former private secretarywho lost his life in a violent robbery planned by a group of youths in El Calafate. The murderers were convicted without controversy. A vague lead that wasn’t followed up, and evidence that was destroyed in the judge’s custody without any explanation: Gutierrez’s cell phone.

Only one other person who “repented” was excluded from the trial because his brain had deteriorated. Enrique Menotti Pescarmona, former president of the IMPSA metallurgical company.

The Cuadernos case must resolve whether the Kirchners and their officials used state contracts to achieve their goals. Collect millions of dollars in bribes from public works contractorsprojects allocated to private companies in astronomical amounts, such as public transport and national highway concessionaires, including the so-called Hydrovia.

of Repentance will mark the development of the process. That period is estimated to last several years, even if the methods of oral and public trials are changed, especially in the face of controversy within the judiciary itself and in some parts of public opinion, to be held in person rather than over Zoom.

A source with full knowledge of the file details and the mechanics of the Cuadernos oral trial explained: clarion that If the “repentant” approve their statement at this stage, whatever its form, the time calculation for how long the process will last will be shortened.. Coincidentally, the public prosecutor’s office in charge of this case, Fabiana Leonprepared dozens of witnesses and evidence to refute the possibility of a “repentant” statement attempting to revise what had already been confessed at the beginning of the investigation.

The “accused cooperator” must prove the truth of his testimony in oral and public trials. A benefit that reduces the penalty for someone who has already committed an honest crime. If it is proven that the person intentionally lied, the person could receive a penalty greater than that for the crime charged.

There is a huge risk for a “repentant person” to change their agreed story, even about being released from detention during preventive detention.

Although Leung has not ruled out that possibility and is preparing a strategy to support his accusations, the statements of each “repentant” will have a huge impact when published and televised in person on Zoom or in the Court of Justice. To take just one example, the audiovisual shock caused by hearing former public works secretary K., who has already become a symbol of corruption, Jose Lopezdetails how Christina Kirchner learned of the bribery scheme in which he was the main character, and by his own admission, the ramifications were immeasurable. Both for the people and for criminal procedure law. What would the former president’s defense attorney say?

There are indications that other “repentant men” may further elaborate on the astonishing recovery system, which included bags containing millions of dollars’ worth of cash in dollars and euros that were taken from the suspect company to the Kirchners’ home. Including Quinta de Olivos. They will then be transported by presidential plane to Rio Gallegos or El Calafate.

These routes have led millions to take shelter in basements and empty homes, or to invest in real estate and businesses in various sectors. the heart of the cause.

And when is the time to testify? Driver Oscar Centenowho drove the car on the orders of former planning official Roberto Baratta and collected the usual bribes delivered by judicially indicted businessmen. Centeno is the author of various notebooks that record details of this entire operation.

No “penitent” could tell more about the Kirchner family’s erratic business and how they transported millions in goods. Victor “Polo” Manzanares, a former accountant for the former presidential family.. He knew everything, remembered it and provided documentation. His repentance was based on faith. It will probably be before or after that that we hear his side of the story in court. His testimony has been incorporated into one of the attached Cuadernos cases, so the conspiracy will be tried in stages, but in the same trial. For “Polo” to speak, he is missing. But he will do it, and it is likely that he will deepen what he experienced and knew. clarion From undisputed sources.

Quadernos’ file begins with a statement about the identity of the journalist, who later turned out to be Diego Cabotfrom La Nación, who handed over Centeno’s notebook to the Strunelli prosecutor’s office, since it was he who was investigating the liquefied gas incident to the Federal Planning Leadership. Centeno was afraid of being attacked, so he handed over custody of his storied treasure to a friend. Cabot then accessed the records of his amazing trip in a Toyota Corolla in search of the bribe that started it all.

But what he handed over in court was more than just a notebook. According to the files, in addition to these notes, Invoice for bag purchase At a leather goods store in the Once district. and 44 movies made by Centeno In their collection of bribes. In principle, this material will be viewed during oral and public trials.

It is because of all these variables, and countless more, that the oral and public trial in this case is so unusual and so unavoidably protracted, that only the “repentant” variable needs to be taken into account. However, the manner and duration of its realization can be limited or complete.

The naked trial of Quadernos before public opinion How does Argentina’s judiciary work?. Beyond the controversy created by the court’s decision that the process unfold virtually rather than in-person.

The lack of appointment of judges and prosecutors has led to an incredible situation in which judges have to sit in different courts and bounce from trial to trial on different days of the week. Same as the unstable buildings and resources in which complex and routine crimes are tried.

In the final report on the Cuadernos case published by Prosecutor Fabiana León, she herself explains her role in this process and provides details and figures about the scale of this oral trial. This is a text written in plain and direct language and can be found on the ficial.gob.ar website.

In several paragraphs he already warns or discusses the controversies and questions that arise today regarding the format of trials.

But it also reveals The challenges facing the nation’s highest authorities trying federal crimes today.

Leon wrote about his daily work, adding in another section: “The public prosecutor’s office under my charge intervenes in the performance of these tasks in 147 cases of varying complexity and number of defendants.” Who is working on all these files with 9 employees?.

And it ends like this: “Ultimately, the direction of the process at this stage corresponds only to the judge who determines, decides and orders the time to which we must abide. We believe that this cause requires special explanation, because, in our opinion: This is the most extensive investigation into corruption ever undertaken in Argentina’s judicial history, and rivals only a few in the world.l.”
