The Cause road is the trigger for the marches in support of the vice president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. The investigation into the alleged network of corruption in public works in Santa Cruz has as its protagonist Diego Lucianiprosecutor who is carrying out the process against several Kirchner officials and related businessmen.
A prosecutor to whom the lawyer Valeria Carreras questions for “advancing opinion” in the book “Corruption, Rule of Law and Human Rights” (from 2019). Carreras, who was a lawyer for the majority group of victims of the ARA San Juana case in which he was accused Mauricio Macri for illegal espionage, assures that behind his presentation there are no political reasons.
“It bothers to see so many irregularities. There is a law, 27,148, which governs prosecutors. There is an article there that talks about motives or Serious behaviors that justify the dismissal of a prosecutor. In section H it says that it is considered serious conduct when a prosecutor, when taking a case, does not excuse himself from intervening in it for the reasons that exist. incompatibility, such as having given your opinion in a previous lawsuit or publicly. The function of the prosecutor is accusatory in search of the culprit, not of the one who made up the idea that he is responsible, this is the difference between a judge and a prosecutor, ”said the lawyer who pointed against Diego Luciani.
Carreras explains that he asked the prosecutor to intervene Edward Casal, and that he presented the same request in the Justice Commission of the Chamber of Deputies. “When (Luciani) says that Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner He must prove that his innocence is a total aberration. It is as if he said, in the case of malpractice, that the dead person explains that he had eaten, the one who must explain is the doctor, because of how he operated on him. Cristina is accused and does not have to defend herself, she is presumed innocent before the law until proven otherwise,” Carreras was annoyed, clarifying that her opinion is based on what was publicly disclosed about the process, since she did not access the bodies of the cause.
“From the legal point of view, I saw a multitude of irregularities, the first was not allow Cristina to expand the investigation. If I am accused of being a thief, I don’t have to prove that I am not, but those who accuse me must show that they have evidence for a judge to say that I stole. I am going to hire a lawyer to defend my rights, to let me participate in the test, to be able to challenge an expert opinion, to propose tests to be able to do everything faster. It is the opposite of how it is proposed, one should not show that it is not what they are telling you, “added Valeria Carreras.
The Cause road will continue with a round of final arguments from the 13 defendants, and a first ruling by February 2023. The prosecutor Luciani requested Twelve-year sentence for Cristina Kirchner and sentences of between 3 and 12 years for the rest of the imputed. Rodrigo Giménez Uriburu, who chairs Federal Oral Court No. 2. defined that the arguments of the defenses will begin within 14 days, the monday september 5 from 8:30 a.m.
