The Vice President’s Lawyer Cristina KirchnerCarlos Beraldi, requested this Wednesday a cassation appeal so that review the lack of merit issued to the former officials of the “AFI macrista” for illegal espionagewhile recused to the judges who signed the decision, Paul Bertucci Y Mariano Llorens.
In the brief, Beraldi accused the chamberlains of lacking “the most basic attributes that make up the principles of judicial independence and impartiality” and pointed out that “they issued a new grossly arbitrary pronouncement, which, due to its implications, seriously affects the normal development of this investigation.”
The vice president’s lawyer thus referred to the decision signed by Llorens and Bertuzzi on December 21, with dissent from Eduardo Farah, which ruled out the figure of “illicit association” and dictated the lack of merit for the former officials of the macrista AFI Gustavo Arribas and Silvia Majdalani and the former private secretary of Mauricio Macri, Darío Nieto.
Bertuzzi and Llorens, in their ruling, said they had found no evidence of “illicit association” and that it was isolated actions of espionage and therefore confirmed the prosecution of the agents of the “SuperMarioBross” chat group.
“What else did the magistrates (Bertuzzi and Llorens) expect to find to prove a criminal organization that has been inserted within the structures of the State?”, he questioned in the brief, to which Télam agreed.
The cause called “illegal espionage” determined that a group of AFI agents spied on the vice president at her home and, later, at the Patria Institute, in addition to monitoring leaders, trade unionists, judges, and journalists.

The case called “illegal espionage” determined that a group of AFI agents spied on the vice president at her home and, later, at the Instituto Patria, in addition to following up on leaders, trade unionists, judges and journalists.
For the complaint of the two-time president and now vice president, “the judges Bertuzzi and Llorens constructed an alternative theory of the case that, paradoxically, not only violates the same logical rules for assessing the evidence that were cited by these magistrates, but also, what is more serious, repudiates the common sense that any person has in the face of a maneuver of the characteristics analyzed here”.
In the same writing, Beraldi pointed to the members of the Court: “Despite being duly notified of the irregularities that were committed in this file and despite the seriousness of the situation raised, they not only failed to give a jurisdictional response to the appeals deducted (some of them, more than eight months ago), but also also, recently, they have decided to withdraw from the cause, without providing a sufficient explanation that justifies such a temperament”.
Written before the Court
On the other hand, the former president’s lawyer filed a brief with the Supreme Court of Justice through which he ordered the highest court to define which judges will resolve the proposals made before the highest court in the framework of this casesince all the ministers that make up the court excused themselves.
“Since all the Ministers of this Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation have excused themselves within the framework of the complaint resources deduced in the proceedings by me -one of them presented already more than eight months-, I respectfully request You see that, with the urgency that the case deserves, it is defined who will be the Magistrates who will have to resolve said direct presentations, providing them, also with the greatest possible speed, the corresponding jurisdictional response”, Beraldi maintained in another of the writings accessed by this agency.
