The prosecutor of the Court of Cassation demanded the immediate auction of the assets of Cristina Kirchner's children

The prosecutor has called for the immediate auction of properties belonging to the children of former president Cristina Kirchner amidst ongoing legal proceedings.

Mario Villar, the prosecutor before the Criminal Cassation Court, has recommended rejecting former president Cristina Kirchner's request to halt the auction of assets belonging to her children, Máximo and Florencia. This demand is part of the ongoing legal ramifications stemming from the Vialidad case, where Kirchner is serving a six-year sentence under house arrest. The auctioning off of these 19 properties represents the remaining enforcement of her sentencing.

The legal contention arises as Cristina Kirchner claims that the seizure of her children's assets constitutes a 'political confiscation' and an infringement upon their inheritance rights. Kirchner's legal team, represented by Carlos Beraldi and Ary Llernovoy, argues that her children should not be implicated in her legal troubles and that their properties should remain untouched by the judicial proceedings.

This tense legal battle not only highlights the fallout from Kirchner's conviction but also raises questions about the legal protections regarding inheritance and property rights in Argentina. As proceedings continue, the outcome could have significant implications for the Kirchner family and set a precedent for similar cases involving political figures in the country.
