New images of the search of Cristina Kirchner's apartment in the Cuadernos case are released

During a hearing in the trial in the Cuadernos case, new images of the search carried out in 2018 at the apartment where Cristina Kirchner lived, at the corner of Uruguay and Juncal, were shown.

According to Clarín and Perfil, the video shows officers from the Federal Police entering the walk-in closet adjacent to the master bedroom, a room protected by one of the property’s three armored doors. In that area, clothing, shoes, handbags and other personal items can be seen.

The operation was carried out on August 23, 2018, by order of then judge Claudio Bonadio, and was led by commissioner Juan Carlos Barrales. According to his testimony as a witness, the operation lasted about 12 hours because of the size and characteristics of the property.

After hearing the commissioner, chief prosecutor Fabiana León requested the reproduction of the records taken by the Argentine Federal Police. The defense of the former president, led by Carlos Beraldi, opposed the full screening and asked that only the fragments to be used as evidence be shown, but Federal Oral Court 7 decided to continue with the material already entered into the proceedings.

According to both outlets, the walk-in closet had dark wood furniture on both sides of a narrow space, with open compartments that reached the ceiling. A mirror with a small desk is also visible, where there were books, a bottle of water and disposable tissues.

In his testimony, Barrales said that officers searched the rooms with instructions to leave each object in its place. He also described the apartment as a full-floor unit with three bedrooms, a large living-dining room, works of art, family photos and gifts received during the presidency.
