BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Former Argentine President Cristina Fernandez was indicted on Friday over accusations that she oversaw irregularities in the central bank's sale of U.S. dollars in the futures market while she was in office.
Federal Judge Claudio Bonadio charged Fernandez, her former economy minister Axel Kicillof and former central bank chief Alejandro Vanoli with "unfaithful administration to the detriment of public administration," according to court papers.
The ruling, which gives a green light for prosecutors to put Fernandez on trial, may be appealed. There was no arrest warrant.
The accusation is that the central bank took billions of dollars worth of money-losing positions in the futures market ahead of a widely expected devaluation of the Argentine peso.
Fernandez, who heads a large faction of the Peronist party, stepped down in December at the end of her second term.

I wish our country could be like one of those Latin American places where the corrupt politicians are subject to the laws. Unfortunately, we are a banana republic and our ruling class is currently untouchable.
In the end, socialists and other thugs always end up turning on each other. Examples: The Night of the Long Knives and Stalin’s purges.
So basically, all Socialists are equal, but some are more equal than others?
*SMIRK*
I love it when they eat their own. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s still delicious when it does. ;)
Progressism — the constant march to a hive society. Yesterday’s radicals are today’s obsticals.
