💨 Abstract

Garret Edwards, a lawyer, discussed the Supreme Court's recent decision affirming the conviction of former Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in a corruption case. The court declared Kirchner inhabilitated for life from public office and sentenced her to six years in prison. Despite potential appeals, Edwards noted they have "very scarce" chances. Remaining legal options include internal recourse or appealing to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. However, this would not halt the enforcement of the sentence.
