A prosecutor opposed Cristina Kirchner's trip to Cuba at the end of the month

The federal prosecutor Diego Luciani ruled today against the request of the former president of the nation and the current Senator Cristina Kirchner to go to Cuba from April 20 to April 30 to visit your trip to Florence, which is in this country doing medical treatment.

Informed judicial sources Infobae that Luciani pointed out that the date of the trip is very close to the beginning of the oral and public trial for irregularities in public works – May 21 – and that the presence of the former president must be ensured for this moment. Thus, he ruled because the request for the defense of Cristina Kirchner had been rejected. Now you have to solve the Federal Oral Court 2.

The former president asked this week for permission to travel to Cuba. He did it in front of the federal judge Claudio Bonadio and Federal Oral Courts 2, 5 and 8, which have some of the causes in which he is elevated to an oral trial.

Cristina Kirchner has already traveled to Cuba. It was March 14 when he announced that his daughter was undergoing treatment in this country. He returned on March 22 and reported that Florence was suffering from post-traumatic stress and mild leg lymphoedema.

Florencia is still in Cuba and Cristina Kirchner wants to see her again. But prosecutor Luciani understood that this trip could hinder the judgment of public works. He said that he had to make sure of the presence of the former president at the beginning of the trial and that the trip was risky. He added that it could not be ruled out that he is already requesting an extension of his stay in Cuba. At trial, Luciani pointed out that the facts tried are serious.

The prosecutor also indicated that he understood the concern over references to Florencia Kirchner's health problems that would have been generic and unspecified.

In addition, the prosecutor pointed out that the same position had been adopted in other cases than the former Secretary of the Environment. Romina Picolotti, the former head of the mint at the Menem Armando Gostanián, the sale of the tandanor yard, among others.

Last month, Luciani had given permission to the former president to visit Cuba, as the start of the oral trial had taken more than two months.

The opinion of the prosecutor's office is not binding and must now resolve the Federal Oral Court 2, integrated for this case by the judges Jorge Gorini, Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu and Andrés Bbado.

The opinion of the other prosecutors

As, Diego Velasco -fiscal of the case "Los Sauces" – if she approved the departure of the former president in Cuba. He had already done so last March on his first trip. Subtract the notice from Marcelo Colombo, prosecutor of the "Hotesur" case. Then the judges of these courts must also express their opinion.

With only one refusal on the part of a court will reach so that the former president can not travel.
