Overview
- Cámara Federal de Casación Penal’s feria panel ruled 2–1, with Ángela Ledesma and Guillermo Yacobucci in the majority and Mariano Borinsky dissenting.
- The appeals will be taken up in February by Sala IV, while TOF2’s measures stay in force: capped visits twice a week for up to three people and two hours, prior authorization for non-listed visitors, limited terrace hours, and electronic monitoring.
- Kirchner’s defense sought out-of-term review after her appendicitis surgery and hospital discharge, arguing health and urgency to relax the regime.
- The tighter rules were imposed by Judge Jorge Gorini after a photo showed nine economists visiting Kirchner’s residence, prompting limits on simultaneous guests and access hours.
- In separate feria rulings, Casación also rejected requests for home detention from Julio De Vido and Lázaro Báez, holding by majority that age and illness did not prove inadequate prison medical care.
