translated from Spanish: The Supreme Court decided to delay the start of the trial for Cristina Kirchner

Judges Ricardo Lorenzetti, Horacio Rosatti, Juan Carlos Maqueda and Elena Highton signed a resolution in which their criminal secretary was instructed to ask for the main body of the case and study it, reported the agency NA. This request could cause a delay in the beginning of the first oral trial against the former president, at a time when there is expectation for his eventual national candidacy. The case is in the hands of the Federal Oral Court 2 and among the accused is also the businessman arrested Lázaro Báez, and former Federal planning Minister Julio De Vido. 

Verbitsky was already giving clues. In his place he published that in the justice they sent message to the National institute that they say that “they will do everything possible so that this year does not raise to oral debate any of the causes that interest them”. — Nicodiana (@nicodiana)
