A person was found dead inside the La Aldea hotel in El Chaltén, owned by the Kirchner family and illegally occupied by more than a hundred people. The discovery comes in a context of high tension, after the judiciary ordered the eviction of the complex, following a request from Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's defense.
A man of around 55 years old was found dead inside the Hotel La Aldea in El Chaltén, an establishment belonging to the Kirchner family that has been illegally occupied by about 130 people for several years. The building, which has been inactive since 2016, is the subject of a judicial case for usurpation.
Hotel de la familia.
There are 34 family groups living at the site, including 30 minors, according to judicial sources. The property belongs to the company Los Sauces S.A., is valued at about $108 million, and could be included among the assets to be seized in the Vialidad case, where the president must return $684,000 million after being found guilty.
According to police information, it was the occupants themselves who found the body after noticing the man's absence and his lack of response to calls. Initial forensic examinations indicate that it may have been a "suicide", although the autopsy ordered by the El Calafate Investigating Court will determine the precise causes of death.
The judiciary rejected Cristina Kirchner's acquittal in the Cuadernos case
Cristina Kirchner.
The judiciary rejected Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's request for acquittal in the case known as Cuadernos, where an alleged network of corruption and illicit association during her administrations is being investigated. Federal Oral Court No. 7, composed of judges Méndez Signori, Castelli, and Canero, also dismissed the res judicata exception raised by her defense, confirming that the former president will have to face oral trial next November 6.
The prosecution and the Financial Information Unit rejected the arguments of the defense attorneys, who claimed that the case duplicated the procedural object of the Vialidad case. The court considered that the argument "repeated dogmatic assertions" without showing identity between the facts. With this decision, Cristina Kirchner faces a new judicial setback and is on track to answer before the judiciary for one of the most emblematic cases of Kirchnerist corruption.
