US EditionArgentina court orders seizure of ex-president Kirchner's assets
The ruling covers nearly $500 million in assets and more than 80 properties as the state seeks repayment in the Vialidad corruption case.
- The Federal Criminal Cassation Court upheld a lower court ruling on Friday to confiscate assets worth about $500 million from Argentine President Cristina Kirchner, who is serving a six-year sentence for corruption.
- This decision stems from The Vialidad case, where prosecutors established that Kirchner was "the primary beneficiary" of a system that steered public works contracts in Santa Cruz to an allied businessman.
- The ruling confirms seizure of one Santa Cruz property, around 20 assets linked to Kirchner and Florencia Kirchner, and more than 80 properties tied to the allied businessman.
- Defense lawyer Gregorio Dalb told AFP the ruling "raises serious legal concerns," adding the defense will appeal to the Supreme Court.
- Seized assets fall under Supreme Court jurisdiction while Kirchner faces another corruption trial involving 85 defendants that could extend beyond 2026.
