Ex-president Argentina sued for corruption

buenos aires - Justice in Argentina is going to prosecute former president Cristina Kirchner along with over forty supporters for corruption. Kirchner is suspected of leading a corrupt network that systematically received kickbacks in exchange for public procurement, reported the Argentinian newspaper Clarín.

Arrest arrest warrants have been issued against most of the suspects in the case. Kirchner can not, however, be detained because she enjoys parliamentary immunity as a senator.

Kirchner led the country from 2007 to 2015 and was the successor to her now deceased husband Néstor Kirchner (1950-2010).
