On 23 August 2022, Argentine prosecutor Diego Luciani called for the 12-year imprisonment of Fernández de Kirchner and her ban from public office as a result of the events of the Lázaro Báez corruption scandal (also known as The Route of the K-Money),[12] which implicated the previous presidencies of both Fernández de Kirchner and her husband Néstor Kirchner.[13][14] In response, members of the opposition staged several demonstrations in front of her residence calling for her resignation, followed by government supporters doing the same as a counter-protest.[15] Demonstrations began almost a week before the attempt took place and were virtually constant.
