Cristina Fernández de Kirchner asked the judiciary to serve her sentence for corruption, recently upheld by the Supreme Court of the Nation, under the modality of house arrest.
The residence chosen to spend her days in confinement is located at the intersection of San José and Humberto Primo, in the Constitución neighborhood of Buenos Aires, just a few meters from Canal 13.

It is therefore no coincidence that the Peronist leader chose this strategic location after the damage suffered by the broadcaster following her conviction.
The residence, a 2,153 square foot (200 square meter) apartment with four bedrooms, was shown this week on the program Mujeres argentinas (eltrece), where details were revealed about the place that could become the former president's new place of confinement.
According to Belén Ludueña, the request was submitted by her lawyer, Carlos Beraldi, who cited reasons of age —Cristina is 72 years old (158 pounds)— and personal security concerns, referring to the attempted attack that occurred in September 2022 in front of her residence in Recoleta.

“The decision to remain in the Federal Capital is also related to proximity to her inner circle,” Ludueña stated, while also revealing some of the conditions that would accompany house arrest. Among them, the possibility of keeping her cell phone, accessing social networks, and even broadcasting content via streaming, a version that, although not yet officially confirmed, is strongly circulating among her inner circle.
Regarding visits, the program's team anticipated that Cristina Kirchner will be able to receive her closest family members and a limited number of people under judicial supervision.

The issue also had repercussions during President Javier Milei's international tour. When asked by the press about the Supreme Court's ruling, the president highlighted the independence of the judiciary and stated: “I let the judges act”. He also maintained that his attitude reflects a “consistent republican vision” and emphasized that he is the first president in decades not to interfere in cases of this magnitude
