Argentina: tomorrow, VP Cristina Kirchner will receive a sentence for corruption, but ...
She is shielded by political immunity (she is senator) and won't be imprisoned until the Supreme Court has issued a definitive judgment, i.e. never. "I am like Lula, courts are persecuting me"
The decision of the federal court hearing Kirchner's case will be made public tomorrow. Cristina was charged with bribery and the illegal granting of public contracts during her two stints as president (2007 to 2015) in the trial. The prosecutor's office has requested a lifelong ban from politics and a 12-year prison sentence.
