Argentina’s Supreme Court has cleared the way for former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to stand trial. The court rejected appeals in the “Los Sauces-Hotesur” case, which alleges money laundering through family businesses. The case centers on claims that Kirchner’s companies received inflated payments for property rentals. These payments allegedly came from businessmen who won public works contracts during her presidency. The trial will also include Kirchner’s son Máximo and about thirty other defendants.
