Cristina sentenced: the judge ordered an inspection of the apartment where the former president requested house arrest.

The Second Federal Oral Court (TOF 2), presided over by Judge Jorge Gorini, ordered this Thursday to expand the socio-environmental report on Cristina Kirchner's apartment, the place where the former president's lawyer, Carlos Berardi, requested that she serve house arrest following the Supreme Court's decision upholding her six-year prison sentence for corruption.

The decision was made in relation to the apartment at 1111 San José Street in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Monserrat, where the former vice president has been living since Tuesday, when the Court upheld her corruption conviction in the Vialidad case.

The required inspection is reportedly to "include a description of the surrounding area and the neighborhood in general, as well as vehicular and pedestrian activity in the area ."

Additionally, details were requested regarding the characteristics of the neighboring homes and "any other information deemed relevant for the purposes of assessing compliance with house arrest at that location."

In line with the inspection ordered for the apartment suggested by the defense as a place for Cristina's detention, Judge Gorini ordered an extension of the socio-environmental report entrusted to the Directorate of Control and Assistance in the Execution of Criminal Cases regarding the addresses proposed by Nelson Guillermo Periotti, Raúl Gilberto Pavesi, and José Francisco López, which are aimed at avoiding a regular prison.

The judge's ruling was signed after seeking advice from Attorney General Diego Luciani regarding the request for a reduced sentence filed by attorney Carlos Beraldi.

The apartment in the Monserrat neighborhood—owned by the real estate company Los Sauces SA, the Kirchner family's company under investigation for money laundering—was the address suggested by Cristina for serving the six-year prison sentence for fraudulent administration to the detriment of the State.

The defense argued that housing Cristina Kirchner in a prison is not "compatible with the security measures that must be guaranteed to a person in the situation of our client," in her capacity as former Head of State.

Along the same lines, the defense noted that, as she is a former President of the Nation, she is under constant surveillance by the Argentine Federal Police , "who monitor any movement the named party makes outside her home 24 hours a day. This confirms the absolute absence of any danger."

For this reason, the lawyer considered that " the use of an electronic anklet by our client becomes completely unnecessary ."

Prosecutor Luciani will now weigh all these arguments and decide whether to grant Cristina house arrest and, if so, whether the mitigation should meet certain conditions.

On Wednesday afternoon, the representative of the Public Prosecutor's Office insisted before Judge Gorini, responsible for the execution of the sentence, on the immediate arrest of the former vice president , something that - again - was rejected by the judge .

Thus, the five-business-day deadline that began this Wednesday after the nine defendants were notified of the sentence remains in effect for them to appear in Comodoro Py.

To carry out the arrests, a letter was sent to the 1st Precinct of the City Police, with jurisdiction over Comodoro Py 2002, requesting assistance in carrying out the arrests, as the convicted individuals "appear before this court within the allotted timeframe and thus begin serving their respective prison sentences."
