The Argentine Federal Court rejected the request of Canadian lawyer Peter Michael Karam, who is being tried in the 100 million dollar money laundering case belonging to Néstor Kirchner's special advisor Daniel Muñoz. The defense's application to increase the requirement for Karam to sign at the Argentine Consulate in Miami every 45 days to 90 days was rejected by the judges, and it was decided to maintain the current regulation.
The court justified its decision by stating that the risks in the trial processes continued, especially as the case will soon move to oral proceedings. The judges also stated that the lawyer's personal and business conditions were evaluated when the said signature regulation was established, and that there was no changing situation.
The investigation focuses on allegations that Daniel Muñoz laundered money internationally, which he obtained illegally within the Kirchnerism network between 2003 and 2015. Karam will be tried in the upcoming period along with 33 defendants, including Muñoz's widow Carolina Pochetti, under the allegation of being involved in this money laundering structure.
