The most anticipated news was confirmed this afternoon. Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was finally convicted in the Vialidad case for defrauding the State through public works contracts during her administration.
The Supreme Court determined that the twice president must serve six years in prison and will be permanently disqualified from holding public office. Meanwhile, the sentence includes the forfeiture of approximately 84,000 million pesos (approximately 185,188,000 USD).
Therefore, her latest candidacy in the province of Buenos Aires was ruled out and she must remain at her residence to serve house arrest.
The court, composed of Horacio Rosatti (president), Carlos Rosenkrantz (vice president), and Ricardo Lorenzetti, rejected the nine appeals filed by the defense teams. Therefore, the appeals were not reviewed, as it was understood that none of the evidence presented by the former president's defense was accepted.
The first to celebrate this news was Javier Milei, who wrote on his X account: "Justice. End. PS: the Republic works and all the corrupt journali$ts, accomplices of lying politician$, have been exposed in their operations about the supposed impunity pact".
Social media quickly exploded with comments, memes, hilarious photos, and videos that will remain in everyone's memory, as it was the day K corruption ended.
The most viral hashtag in recent hours was #CFKLadronaDeLaNaciónArgentina, with which the people expressed their happiness at seeing the leader of contemporary Peronism behind bars.
