The Buenos Aires Federal Chamber has upheld the indictment of the Kirchnerist former president Alberto Fernández in the Seguros case, which investigates irregularities in the contracting of insurance by public agencies during his term.
The former president faces charges of fraudulent administration and for allegedly engaging in negotiations incompatible with his duties as a public official.
The Court of Appeals also upheld the indictments, asset freezes, and travel bans for broker Héctor Martínez Sosa, his wife and Fernández's former private secretary, María Cantero, along with other defendants.
Regarding the former president, judges Martín Irurzun and Roberto Boico stated that "the exercise of influence by then President of the Nation Alberto Fernández, through his secretary María Cantero, (...) had as its characteristic and central factor the favoring of the named individual."
