A JUDGE in Argentina dismissed a long-running money laundering case on Monday against vice-president Cristina Fernandez, after prosecutors and state agencies said there was no evidence she was involved in a crime.
Federal Judge Sebastian Casanello ruled that Ms Fernandez be removed from what had come to be known as the “K money trail” case because it involved alleged kickbacks and money laundering on behalf of Ms Fernandez’s family by businessman Lazaro Baez.
Prosecutor Guillermo Marijuan said late last month there was no evidence that Ms Fernandez, a former president from 2007 to 2015, was involved in the corruption for which Mr Baez has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
