In a significant legal move, prosecutor Diego Luciani has requested the confiscation of a substantial fortune, amounting to US$5 million and 141 properties associated with former Argentine president Cristina Kirchner, her family, and businessman Lázaro Báez. The assets listed for confiscation also include 46 vehicles and a notable sum of more than $53,000, alongside cash found in a safe reportedly linked to Kirchner's family. This request follows a series of convictions related to a corruption case concerning public works projects known as Vialidad.

The legal documentation filed by Luciani, supported by prosecutor Diego Mola, highlights new findings about assets belonging to those convicted in the Vialidad case. Among the properties requested for confiscation is the apartment in the Constitución neighborhood where Kirchner is currently serving house arrest. The extensive list of assets not only implicates Kirchner but also ties her to various properties held through family-owned companies and firms linked to Báez, underscoring a broader investigation into corruption and money laundering within Argentina's political and economic elite.

Should the court grant the request, this move could set a significant precedent in the fight against corruption in Argentina, reinforcing governmental accountability at the highest levels. The outcome of this case is of immense public interest, considering Kirchner's influential political legacy and the ongoing struggles with corruption in the nation, which has plagued several administrations and eroded public trust in governmental institutions.
