Court Keeps Cristina Kirchner’s House Arrest in Place

Supervisory inspections that documented compliance support the ruling and leave the defence able to pursue further appeals including possible recourse to the Inter‑American Commission on Human Rights.

Overview

  • The Tribunal Oral Federal 2, which issued its decision on Wednesday, resolved to maintain Cristina Kirchner’s prisión domiciliaria at her San José 1111 residence under the same supervised regime.
  • The court based the decision on quarterly reports from DCAEP and DAPVE that recorded cooperation, strict visitor-log reviews and continuous electronic geolocation without unauthorized persons in the home.
  • Judge Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu issued a formal warning over a June 14 mobilization after finding that a banner anchor had been affixed to the San José 1111 balcony and lacked a city permit but said that episode alone did not justify changing the regime.
  • Operational limits remain in force, including retention of the ankle bracelet, escorting and approved departures, and a single daily outdoor access to the terrace limited to two hours plus strict authorization for non-family visitors.
  • The defence has filed domestic appeals and has lodged a cassation request while publicly weighing a complaint to the Inter‑American Commission on Human Rights as allies plan further mobilizations that could deepen the political and legal standoff.
