Rosatti, Rosenkrantz, and Lorenzetti have already submitted their votes for the ruling against CFK.

The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling against Cristina Kirchner this Tuesday at 4:00 p.m

The president of the Supreme Court, Horacio Rosatti, and the vice president, Carlos Rosenkrantz, have already submitted their votes to the Criminal Secretariat in the Vialidad case to rule against the corrupt former president Cristina Kirchner.

Meanwhile, Ricardo Lorenzetti submitted his vote a few minutes later, which is expected to be in line with Rosatti and Rosenkrantz.

This morning, the president of the Court called the other judges of the highest tribunal to hold a meeting this Tuesday at 4:00 p.m., in order to issue a ruling against the corrupt former president Cristina Kirchner in the Vialidad case.

As a result, the president of the PJ sent one of her "trusted men" to the Supreme Court to put pressure on it and try to postpone the ruling that would sentence her to 6 years of house arrest and would leave her disqualified from holding public office for life, according to reports from TN.

"At this moment, Gerónimo Ustarroz is walking around the Supreme Court, trying to get someone to see him. The Court is receiving a large number of calls to try to stop the ruling and is under pressure from Cristina Kirchner's sector to try to change the former president's fate and for the ruling not to issue the sentence today and to postpone it again," said journalist Adrian Ventura.

Yesterday, news also broke that the Supreme Court is already working on the ruling that will confirm Cristina Kirchner's sentence in the Vialidad case. This decision can't be postponed beyond Friday.

Carlos Rosenkrantz, who has already cast his vote, was the one who had the most reservations regarding the appropriate timing to issue the decision. The magistrate returned this Monday from a trip to Río Negro and next week will travel to Mexico.

A key fact is that the Criminal Secretariat of the Court is currently preparing a reasoned rejection of the appeal filed by Cristina Kirchner. This implies two things:

First, the judicial decision is getting closer. If it is not solved before Friday, the pronouncement would be made after Rosenkrantz returns from Mexico, which would place it too close to the deadline for the registration of lists for the legislative elections.

Second, the ruling will not be limited to a brief resolution under article 280 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, as had been speculated until now, but rather will be a decision with legal grounds.
