Argentina court allows Kirchners to appear virtually in Hotesur trial

Argentina's Oral Tribunal 5 ruled that Cristina and Máximo Kirchner may participate virtually in the initial stage of the Hotesur-Los Sauces money laundering trial, after the Casación court unified the two cases. This procedural decision reduces the political optics of a high-profile trial but does not alter the substance of the charges. The ruling signals a pragmatic approach to trial logistics, with implications for the political calendar ahead of elections.
