BUENOS AIRES: Argentine ex-president Cristina Kirchner, who is serving a six-year fraud sentence under house arrest, goes on trial Thursday in a separate case for allegedly taking millions of dollars in bribes.
The center-left Kirchner, a dominant and polarizing figure in Argentine politics for over two decades, served two terms from 2007-2015.
Her latest trial comes as her ailing Peronist movement — named after iconic post-war leader Juan Peron — reels from its stinging defeat at the hands of right-wing President Javier Milei’s party in last month’s midterm elections.
