Cristina Kirchner's corruption verdict increases polarization
The vice-president of Argentina, Cristina Kirchner, will hear her sentence this Tuesday afternoon (6) in the process called Vialidad. The Prosecutor's Office is asking for 12 years in prison for the former president accused of crimes such as illicit association to direct public works in the province of Santa Cruz in favor of businessman Lázaro Baez. The court decision is expected to be released this afternoon after a long trial. According to the official agency Telam, there is expectation for mobilizations in Buenos Aires in favor of the vice president.
Cristina can still appeal to a higher court and even appeal to the Supreme Court of Justice. Until the case is “final and unappealable”, she remains in office and maintains her political rights.
