Argentine VP Cristina Fernandez sentenced to six years in jail for corruption

By IBNS
Wed Dec 07 2..

Buenos Aires/UNI: Argentine Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has been sentenced to six years in jail for corruption and a lifetime ban from holding public office.


An Argentine court on Tuesday convicted her of "fraudulent administration" over irregular public works contracts awarded during her two-term presidency between 2007 and 2015.

The vice president will not face immediate imprisonment and is also expected to appeal against the sentence.

She denied the allegations and called the court a "firing squad."

It's the first time that an Argentine VP has been convicted of a crime while in office.

On Tuesday, Fernandez de Kirchner wrote on social media after the ruling that she will not be a candidate for any political office in the 2023 general elections.
