ARGENTINA – A court in Argentina has sentenced Vice-President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner to six years in jail for corruption.

In a case that has shaken the country, the 69-year-old was found guilty of “Fraudulent administration” over the awarding of public works contracts to a friend.

It is unlikely she will serve jail time with some immunity via her government roles and is expected to launch a lengthy appeals process.

She has also been banned from public office for life but will continue in her role as vice president while the case goes through higher courts.
