The van used in the attack on Espert was near Cristina Kirchner's house.

The federal judiciary has opened a serious investigation that could link the corrupt former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to the attack that took place on June 17 against the home of national deputy José Luis Espert.

The hypothesis, based on official reports from the National Security Ministry and new security camera footage collected by the federal judiciary, suggests that from her house arrest, the former president may have participated in the planning of the attack.

According to judicial sources and journalists who accessed the information, a white Chevrolet S10 truck, used to transport the manure thrown at Espert's residence, was captured by security cameras in the vicinity of Cristina Kirchner's residence, at San José 1111, CABA, at 4:17 p.m. on June 16, exactly 24 hours before the attack.

The vehicle in question belongs to the company Construcciones S.A., a firm that has benefited from public works contracts in the municipality led by Kirchnerist Mayra Mendoza. Since April 2022, the truck had been assigned to the local government and, according to official documentation, was under the jurisdiction of the Secretariat of Environment and Comprehensive Management of Urban Solid Waste.

What most caught the investigators' attention is that the vehicle had been assigned to tasks related to environmental care, specifically within the framework of the "Acceso Sudeste - Buenos Aires-La Plata Highway" project. However, it was recently used in the attack against a legislator, which could constitute improper use of public assets.

The sequence was reconstructed by order of the federal court headed by Sandra Arroyo Salgado, who had requested a complete tracking of the vehicle's route. The surprise was enormous when it was confirmed that the truck had been stopped just a few meters from the building where the former president is serving house arrest.

The temporal and geographical proximity to the attack on Espert opens the hypothesis that the meeting at that location may have been to receive direct instructions from Cristina for the attack.

If it is judicially proven that from her place of detention the convicted former president gave orders or coordinated an act of intimidation against a national deputy, the judges could review her current regime and request her transfer to a regular prison, arguing noncompliance with the conditions of house arrest and repeated criminal conduct.

There are already seven people detained in the case for the attack, including Kirchnerist officials from the Quilmes Municipality, La Cámpora activists, and a councilwoman from the Frente de Todos. All have ties to Kirchnerism.
