    Cristina Fernandez's first corruption trial confirmed for next Tuesday

    Implicated in more than 10 corruption investigations, this is the first such case against Cristina Kirchner to reach court.

    Argentina's Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that ex-president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's corruption trial can go ahead; after protesters demonstrated against rumours the case might be delayed. Trial is set to begin on Tuesday over accusations that CFK favoured businessman Lazaro Baez in the attribution of 52 public works contracts worth 46 billion pesos (US$1.2 billion) during her 2007-15 presidency.
