Under these accusations, Cristina Kirchner faced the oral trial. After more than two and a half years of hearings, on December 6, 2022, Federal Oral Court 2 delivered its guilty verdict, finding her guilty of the crime of fraudulent administration to the detriment of the State. The imposed sentence was six years in prison and perpetual disqualification from holding public office.
The judges who signed that sentence were appointed during the former vice president's administration. In 2011, Jorge Gorini and Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu were sworn in as members of Federal Oral Court 2 (TOF 2).
In 2015, through the same procedure, Andrés Basso joined TOF 3, and years later was selected by lottery to join TOF 2, the court responsible for conducting the trial against Cristina Kirchner and 15 other defendants for alleged irregularities in public works.
General prosecutor Diego Luciani, who during his argument and in the subsequent appeal to the conviction requested that the crime of illicit association as leader also be included, with a sentence of twelve years in prison, assumed his position on September 9, 2013, through decree 1137, signed by Cristina Kirchner.
The appeal of the sentence by both the prosecution and the defense of the accused took the case to Chamber IV of the Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation, composed of judges Mariano Borinsky, Gustavo Hornos, and Diego Barroetaveña. The first of them was appointed on September 27, 2011, during Cristina Kirchner's presidential administration.
Despite all this evidence, this Saturday, in a public event, the former vice president called the Cassation Chamber "Macrista" for having rejected her extraordinary appeal, with which she sought to annul the confirmation of her conviction for corruption.
