The former president of Argentina, Cristina Fernández, through her lawyer, asked the court to grant her authorization to receive the president of Brazil, Luis Inacio Lula Da Silva, in his house where he is serving house arrest.

Lula will arrive in Buenos Aires on Wednesday night and will return to his country on Thursday afternoon as scheduled to attend the MERCOSUR Summit where he will receive the pro tempore presidency of the Argentine bloc that ends his rotating annual term.

Since she was sentenced to house arrest and politically disqualified, the Brazilian president expressed his desire to be able to share with her, to provide her with his support.

In granting the benefit of house arrest, the magistrates set a series of conditions such as the presentation of a payroll of people who will be able to access their apartment without judicial authorization. It includes their children and their family group in general, police custody, accountants, doctors and lawyers.

Any other name not included in that list must require prior admission by the court.
