Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner warned this Friday that “the media-judicial mafia, impunity and legal absurdity” they lead “institutions towards a blind alley”, by questioning the criteria used by Justice to determine the validity of a wiretap at the time of setting up a crime.
“The media-judicial mafia, impunity and legal absurdity in the open. It is time to wake up and warn that they are leading the institutions towards a dead end,” the former president wrote on her Twitter social network account.
The former president recalled that “in 2016, in Comodoro P and the Cassation Chambers (Gustavo) Hornos and (Mariano) Borinsky reopened the Memorandum case with Iran, which had been dismissed… 2 times! They based it on ‘an illegal wiretapping’, they put (Carlos) Zannini (current Treasury attorney) in prison and they prohibited (former Foreign Minister Héctor) Timerman from treating cancer in the US.”
Stornelli, to save Rosatti’s side -Robles- cites the minority vote of chambermaid Ana María Figueroa in the Memorandum with Iran case, which questions that illegal listening is intended to reopen a case. Only with a media-judicial mafia can there be so much impunity.

“After the legalization of listening, (Mauricio) Macri -who was President- publicly congratulated Hornos and Borinsky and criticized the other chambermaid, Ana María Figueroa, who had voted in a minority against that decision,” observed the Vice President.
And he added: “Now in 2023, the judge (federal Sebastián) Ramos de Comodoro Py in 20 days rejected the complaint against Silvio Robles (spokesman for the head of the highest court, Horacio Rosatti), who fixed court rulings in chats with D’ Alessandro, CABA Security Minister, saying that he could not be charged with a crime because the complaint was based on “illegal listening”.
“In case someone was missing in this true scandal, the prosecutor who intervened was… Stornelli! prosecuted for illegal espionage and promoter of ‘Operation Puf’, where he sought to legitimize the illegal wiretapping of the Ezeiza prison to save himself from his participation in D`Alessiogate”, reviewed the head of the Senate.
Cristina Fernández affirmed that “Stornelli, to save the side of Rosatti -Robles- cites the minority vote of chambermaid Ana María Figueroa in the Memorandum with Iran case, which questions that illegal listening is intended to reopen a cause. Only with mafia media-judicial there can be so much impunity,” he said.
By way of conclusion, the Vice President pointed out that “today, at this point, the million dollar question must be asked: What will the Chamber of Cassation do now with the Memorandum case with Iran?
The media-judicial mafia, impunity and legal absurdity in the open. It is time to wake up and realize that they are leading the institutions towards a dead end.

The complaint against Robles, filed
This Thursday, federal judge Sebastián Ramos filed a criminal complaint in which Silvio Roblesthe collaborator of the head of the Supreme Court Horacio Rosatti, had been accused of suggesting to the former Buenos Aires Minister of Security and Justice, Marcelo D’Alessandro, on how to proceed in the case initiated by the controversy over the formation of the Council of the Magistracy.
The magistrate made this determination in accordance with the opinion of the federal prosecutor Carlos Stornelli, who considered that no progress could be made in a criminal investigation based on a crime such as the illegal intervention of communications telephone calls, reported judicial sources.
The action had been initiated by the lawyer Gastón Matías Marano, who said he had learned of the chats exchanged between Robles and D’Alessandro based on the Telegram application “through different means of communication”, and in terms of their content “referred which would include advice, by Robles, regarding the best methodologies to achieve a judicial result” related to the Council of the Magistracy.
Stornelli also intervenes in a complaint filed by D’Alessandro for “the possible existence of illegal intelligence maneuvers” as “part of a systematic criminal plan that qualifies as aimed at damaging, before public opinion, his image and reputation, as well as the of other officials and magistrates”.
In this case, the prosecutor assured that the use of messages obtained from the leak of D’Alessandro’s cell phone constitutes an “insurmountable obstacle” that prevents the investigation from continuing.
In addition, Stornelli determined that in lawyer Marano’s complaint there was “no autonomous and self-sufficient means or element” other than those alleged communications that could have been obtained illegally, and stated that validating the investigation with elements that would have been obtained as a result of a Criminal action would collide with “the most basic and inalienable constitutional principles.”
For Stornelli, entering the study of the denounced or assuming any temperament that would imply the continuation of the action would go against the ‘fruit of the poisonous tree’ doctrine.”
In support of his opinion, the prosecutor cited judicial precedents involving Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, with the recording of a telephone communication obtained without the consent of both interlocutors, in which the principles and guarantees of privacy prevailed over any punitive claim. .
“The prosecutor’s opinion is duly reasoned and justified,” Ramos remarked when ordering “to file this complaint in accordance with what is proposed, because the criminal action is not authorized by the person who has the power to accuse.”
Marano, the lawyer who had filed the complaint against Robles, is the same one who intervenes in the case for the attack against the Vice President as defender of Gabriel Carrizothe head of the cotton candy sellers charged as a participant in the assassination attempt.
A lawyer with many connections and well known in the judicial environment, Marano filed the complaint against Silvio Robles earlier this month in Comodoro Py, when he was already processing another complaint against Rosatti’s adviser in the federal jurisdiction of Santiago del Estero.
