WestVirginiaRebel Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Yahoo News: BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Cristina Fernandez, who stepped down as president of Argentina in December after eight years in office, has been charged by a prosecutor with money laundering, local media reported on Saturday. The decision follows testimony on Friday by businessman Leonardo Farina, who in a plea bargain implicated Fernandez and her late husband and former President Nestor Kirchner in a case related to money laundering and embezzling funds earmarked for public works. Julio De Vido, a longtime Fernandez and Kirchner ally and former minister, was also charged, local newspapers Clarin and La Nacion reported, citing judicial sources. Reuters could not immediately confirm the charges with the prosecutor's office. ________ Don't cry for her, Argentina... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
