Argentina's Court of Cassation has unanimously turned down requests from Máximo Kirchner and Florencia Kirchner to suspend the confiscation of assets registered in their names, according to Rosario3. The ruling removes the last obstacle to proceeding with the auction of those properties in the "Vialidad" case.
The decision was reported by several Argentine outlets, including La Nación, Infobae, Filo News and TN. La Nación described the rejection of the suspension request as unanimous. TN reported that the Cassation chamber confirmed the confiscation of the assets held in the names of the two children of former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
The case, known as "Vialidad," centers on the awarding of public roadworks contracts. The asset seizure at issue concerns properties tied to Máximo and Florencia Kirchner, and the court's ruling clears the path for those assets to be sold at auction, per Rosario3.
The siblings had sought to block the confiscation while legal proceedings continued, but the Cassation court declined to grant that relief, according to the reports. No further details on the court's reasoning were available in the source material.
With the appeals exhausted at this stage, attention now turns to when and how the auctions of the listed properties will be scheduled.
