Former Argentine President Named to USA Sanction List
US Secretary of State accuses former Argentine President and Minister of Corruption
US Secretary of State Rubio recently made a statement accusing former Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and former Planning Minister Julio Miguel de Vido of being involved in corruption during their time in office.
The corruption case, which began in 2019, culminated in a decision in 2022 that found Fernandez de Kirchner guilty. She was sentenced to 6 years in prison for corruption charges. The Supreme Court upheld the decision to permanently bar her from holding public office in 2024.
This news has shocked the Argentine political landscape, as Fernandez de Kirchner was a prominent figure in the country’s politics for many years. The scandal has raised concerns about the extent of corruption in the Argentine government and has sparked calls for further investigations into other officials.
As the story continues to develop, many are watching closely to see what impact these revelations will have on the future of Argentine politics and whether more officials will be implicated in corruption scandals.
