Cristina and her children were acquitted in the Hotesur Cause

The Federal Oral Court (TOF) 5 decided this Friday afternoon to acquit Cristina Kirchner and her children Máximo and Florencia in the Hotesur case, where they were investigated for alleged money laundering with property rentals and hotel beds through that company. The decision was made with the vote of judges Adrián Grünberg and Daniel Obligado, who decided that there was none, while Adriana Palliotti rejected the proposal. In this way, the oral trial against the vice president and her children, one of them the president of the government bloc in the Chamber of Deputies, will be avoided. However, the decision may be appealed to the Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation.
The ruling was taken from the presentation of CFK’s lawyer, Carlos Beraldi, who remarked that the expert reports incorporated into the case had allowed to prove that all the “product of the hotel and rental activity was banked” so that “the absence of black money is evident”. They also dismissed Lázaro Báez, Martín Báez, Osvaldo San Felipe and Alberto Leiva along with other defendants in the case that was iconic during the years of Kirchnerism. In the case of the Patagonian businessman, he was acquitted for “the impossibility of continuing the processing of these actions with respect to Lázaro Antonio Báez and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in order to commit the crime of illicit association, for having violated the guarantee of ne bis in idem”, a legal principle that maintains that no one can be persecuted twice for the same crime.
