The ex-president has several legal cases against her, the last one related to a plot of bribes in exchange for public works
The Senate of Argentina has unanimously approved the authorization requested by federal judge Claudio Bonadio to register the homes of the former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
Fernandez has several legal cases against her, the last one related to a plot of bribes in exchange for public works allegedly led by the couple.
Bonadio requested the registration of several properties owned by the exmandataria, but it was up to the Senate to approve or reject said request.
The former president reported on Tuesday to her fellow senators that she was in favor of authorizing the searches, with the aim of ending the "show" that, in her opinion, would have been mounted around a case of alleged bribes.
"I have no objection to the body authorizing the request by Bonadio," Fernandez said in a public letter addressed to the senators.
Fernandez, however, imposed several conditions on the records, so that, for example, there are no cameras during these operations to avoid the subsequent dissemination of images "with clear intention of humiliation and harassment." He also wants both his lawyers and a senator to be present.
The president also urged that "Bonadio not break anything" and take all the necessary instruments to scan walls and ceilings, to prevent breakage, given the "media show" that would have marked the previous records, in words of Fernández.
The list of petitions also includes an appeal to "protect the objects for personal use and those that make up the trousseau of the houses." If they find gold ingots, millions of dollars or precious stones in bags, they can take them, but if they find a ring or a necklace, it is clear that they are objects of my personal use, "the exmandataria ironized.
