Argentine justice annuls a case against Kirchner for irregular use of planes

The court annulled this Tuesday a case against the vice president Argentina Cristina Kirchnerwho was being investigated for the alleged irregular use of the presidential aircraft fleet during his terms between 2007 and 2015, according to a decision by the Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation.

The case was opened by the late judge Claudio Bonadio to find out if the presidential planes were used to bring furniture to the hotels owned by Kirchner in the Patagonia (South), when she was president.

The Chamber of Cassation decided to annul the legal process considering that Bonadio did not act impartially as a judge, since he himself had been the complainant.

“It is by virtue of the breach of a basic guarantee that affects the fair order, that everything acted by the complaining judge and at the same time investigating the case must be struck down with the sanction of annulment.”, indicated the ruling.

In recent years, the former president has accumulated a dozen cases against her, but many of them have been dismissed.

As vice president, Kirchner enjoys privileges that exempt her from going to prison.
