Buenos Aires, November 27, 2025 – The most serious accusations in years against Cristina Fernández de Kirchner were exposed this Thursday during the fifth day of the oral trial in the 'Notebooks' case. The prosecution maintained that the former president was the 'final recipient' of illegal money paid by businessmen during the Kirchnerism era, and that her own homes functioned as centers for collecting bribes, according to the reading of the request signed by Federal Prosecutor Carlos Stornelli. The nearly 700-page indictment describes a network that placed Cristina Kirchner—currently under house arrest due to her conviction in the 'Vialidad' case—at the apex of an illegal fundraising structure that operated for years. In several cases, collaborating defendants confirmed direct deliveries to the former president's inner circle. From her department at San José 1111, where she is serving her house arrest, Cristina Kirchner listened to the reading via Zoom. Among the most compromising points, it was detailed that the apartment at Uruguay and Juncal, in Recoleta, where the former president lived, was one of the main repositories for the money collected by former officials and businessmen. 'It is proven that Cristina Fernández received sums of money in her homes,' the prosecutor stated. The role of each person involved, according to the accusation, converges on an unequivocal conclusion: 'Cristina Elisabet Fernández turned out to be the only one with the real and effective capacity to decide how and what to do with the majority of the money.' The testimony of the repentant Claudio Uberti—who recounted seeing about 20 suitcases in Cristina's apartment and that, according to what Muñoz told him, they were destined for the house in Río Gallegos, where vaults had supposedly been purchased from the Mortgage Bank—was one of the episodes retaken during the reading of the indictment. The prosecutors listed bribes from central figures in the business sector, including Carlos Wagner, Enrique Pescarmona, Juan Carlos de Goycoechea, Gerardo Ferreyra, Raúl Glazman, and others, with specific dates, amounts, and addresses. The prosecution stated: 'The main recipient was Cristina Elisabet Fernández, who took final possession of the majority of the money delivered by the private sector.' The scheme included Roberto Baratta—described as the 'initial receiver'—and the late Daniel Muñoz, right-hand man to Néstor Kirchner, who was 'one of the final intermediaries'.
