translated from Spanish: What does set the law of extinction of domain obtained average penalty in the Senate?

peronism in the Senate approved the extinction of domain who presented the Peronist block months ago and won against the ruling party, which tried to move forward with a project.

After being passed in the Senate with 40 votes in favour and 26 against, the initiative passed to the Chamber of Deputies. 

The extinction of domain is a legal figure that is claimed with the insistence by the Government because it would allow the State become owner of the assets obtained through illegal activities or used to them.

However, the ruling party failed to reach an agreement with the bench headed by Miguel Angel Pichetto, that after almost two years of refusing to treat the project, which had already been approved by the Chamber of Deputies on the grounds that you ten IA failures in procedure, imposed its own.

“Was outrageous vote project as it came, mere suspicion fired the action (of the extinction of domain). If the Chamber of Deputies want it vote to vote him”, said the head of the Peronist bloc.

The project of the Peronist bloc maintains that standard must run in the criminal jurisdiction once there is a Court of first instance, but allows the extinction early in cases such as the flagrante delicto or leakage. The execution of it remains in the hands of the public prosecutor’s Office and within the criminal jurisdiction.

We change prompted an own project that kept some elements that were in the members and putting the extinction of domain in the hands of a civilian judge who can run it until there is a criminal sentence.

In the days prior to the session, change said that his initiative was to “recover the stolen” in the context of the causes for corruption involving former officials Kirchner. The difference is that it was retroactive, while that of the PJ does not.

What stands out from the initiative of the ruling is that the figure of the extinction of domain could be applied to the causes that are already in progress, or to events that occurred prior to the entry into force of the law.

The caucus led by Cristina Kirchner requested to include in the draft crimes against the economic order and to extinction, in cases of corruption, applies also to “the corrupters”.
