Buenos Aires, Former Argentinean President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has been charged on suspicion of money laundering, a report in a local newspaper said on Saturday.
“Prosecutor Guillermo Marijuan announced today (Saturday) this measure against the former president,” Xinhua quoted La Nacion as saying, after a previously incarcerated businessman, Leonardo Farina, made statements incriminating Kirchner and other former government figures in money laundering investigations.
These charges came just four days after Kirchner was interrogated by authorities about suspicious operations made by the country’s central bank in the final days of her presidency.
