The prosecutor recommended a 12-year prison sentence, while Vice President Kirchner denied the charges against her and called the trial “politically motivated.”
A federal court in Argentina on Tuesday found the country’s vice president Cristina Kirchner guilty of corruption in a case related to the awarding of public works during her presidential term (2007-2015).
The prosecutor recommended a 12-year prison sentence, while Vice President Kirchner denied the charges against her and called the trial “politically motivated.”
The country’s vice president and president of the Senate since 2019, Christina Kirchner enjoys immunity, which can only be lifted by the Supreme Court if it upholds her conviction. If that doesn’t happen, Kirchner will be able to run in parliamentary and presidential elections in late 2023, although she has not yet said whether she intends to do so.
It is considered certain that he will appeal against the decision and the legal adventure is expected to last several years.
