Journalist Eduardo Feinmann harshly attacked the judges who make up the court judging the Cuadernos Case, questioning their willingness to move forward with the process and demanding that the trial take place in person.
In statements to channel A24, Feinmann compared the case with the historic Trial of the Juntas: “There are two trials that are, for me, the two most important in Argentine history. One, the Trial of the Juntas; and another that is this trial… the most important corruption trial in Argentine history.”
And he added: “There were 850 witness statements taken there, in four months, every holy day, until dawn the next day… In this Cuadernos you only take hearings one day a week, for four hours.”
Feinmann directly attacked judges Enrique Méndez Signori, Fernando Canero and Germán Castelli: “They don’t feel like working. And if they have other things to do, leave everything they have to do and just dedicate themselves to this.”
He criticized the frequency and slowness of the hearings and stated: “I get the feeling that you want this to be delayed, that the lady gets away in some way… If you continue on this little path, I will understand that you want this to be diluted.”
In a provocative tone, Feinmann demanded immediate action: “Put your eggs in, take her in person”—alluding to Cristina Kirchner and the rest of the accused.
The journalist maintained that the case involves “billions of dollars” and denounced that the bags of money would have ended up in the hands of the former president.
Feinmann’s media reaction revived the focus on the speed and transparency of the most important judicial process of corruption in recent Argentina, as well as on the profile of the courts in charge of trying it.
