Buenos Aires, Nov 19 (NA) — Federal Judge Jorge Gorini imposed new and strict restrictions today on the house arrest of former President Cristina Kirchner, after she received a group of nine economists at her home on San José 1111. According to Noticias Argentinas Agency, the Federal Oral Court 2 ruled that the former head of state "failed to meet the conditions" by holding an unauthorized simultaneous meeting. The new rules establish that visits: will have a maximum duration of two hours; will be allowed up to twice a week; cannot exceed three people at a time. Any unauthorized visit (outside of family, doctors, and lawyers) must be requested individually with justification, date, and time. According to the report, the group presented her with an economic document of over 400 pages on behalf of more than eighty professionals. Although the individuals who attended the meeting were on a list presented by the defense on November 12, the requested authorization did not contemplate the simultaneous gathering of all visitors.
