Grupo Austral case

The Grupo Austral case, or the road infrastructure case ("Causa Vialidad"), is an Argentine judicial proceeding entitled "No. 5048/2016 Grupo Austral et al. re abuse of authority and dereliction of the duties of a public official." It was initiated in 2016 by Judge Julián Ercolini, in a ruling dated 27 December 2016, who prosecuted businessman Lázaro Báez, former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and several officials of her administration for various crimes. The case ended with a guilty sentence, which was appealed before the Supreme Court. The Court rejected the appeal and upheld the guilty verdict, which sentence Cristina Kirchner to a six-year jail sentence and banned her from running for office.
