The TOF(Tribunal Oral Federal)2 court last Tuesday sentenced Vice-President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to a six-year prison term for corruption, half the sentence requested by prosecutor Diego Luciani, and a perpetual ban from public office (to which she responded by saying that she would not be running “for anything” next year while lambasting the legitimacy of the trial). She was convicted for defrauding the state but acquitted of running an illicit association. Her imprisonment will not be immediate (if at all) due to her vice-presidential privileges and rights of appeal. Lázaro Báez, as the beneficiary of the fraudulent Santa Cruz highway contracts, was also sentenced to six years while seven co-defendants received prison terms ranging from 39 months to six years and four were acquitted, including former Federal Planning minister Julio De Vido. The Juntos por el Cambio opposition celebrated the verdict as “another chapter in the end to impunity showing that nobody is above the law in Argentina … with all the institutional rights of the accused respected” but PRO chair Patricia Bullrich took it a step further, commenting: “Justice will not be done until CFK returns ALL the money she stole and goes to prison for her crimes.”
