This Tuesday, prosecutors Diego Luciani and Sergio Mola formally requested the immediate arrest of the corrupt former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, after the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation confirmed her sentence to six years in prison and disqualification from holding public office in the case known as "Vialidad".
In the document submitted, they also requested the same measure for other convicted individuals in the case: Lázaro Báez, Mauricio Collareda, Raúl Daruich, José López, Raúl Pavesi, Nelson Periotti, José Santibáñez, and Juan Carlos Villafañe.
The prosecutors who participated in the trial once again emphasized that the sentence imposed on Cristina Kirchner is "insufficient and disproportionate in light of the serious harm caused." They also recalled that both in their closing arguments and in subsequent stages, they had requested a sentence of 12 years in prison for those they considered the main individuals responsible for the scheme.
Luciani and Mola reaffirmed their position that there was a genuine illicit association operating from within the State, with a systematic corruption plan that was conceived, structured, and executed to divert public funds.
To achieve this objective, the allocation of road works in the province of Santa Cruz was used fraudulently, thus favoring Lázaro Báez, a close associate of then-president Néstor Kirchner and business partner of the Kirchner couple in private operations of questionable legality.
The prosecutors argue that this mechanism was only possible thanks to the actions of the convicted individuals, who manipulated and gutted oversight agencies to facilitate the scheme.
The prosecutors' request came after Federal Oral Court No. 2, which handed down the first-instance sentence against the corrupt Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in the context of the Vialidad case, ordered that the former president and the other convicted individuals must appear within a period of five business days at the Comodoro Py courts to comply with the arrest order, following the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the sentences.
