The former Argentine President, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, has been charged with defrauding the state. 국가돈을 사취한 혐의를 받음.

She is accused of manipulating the Central Bank to sell dollars at an artificially low price in the months before she left office. 대통령 임기를 마치기 전 수 개월 동안 중앙은행을 움직여 인위적으로 저가로 달러를 판매했다는 혐의.

Federal Judge Claudio Bonadio said this cost the state about $5.2bn (£3.6bn).

Ms Fernandez, who was in power in 2007-15, denies any wrongdoing, saying she is the victim of political persecution. She can appeal against the decision. 본인은 자신이 정치적 박해를 받고 있다고 항변.

The accusation is that the Central Bank sold US dollars on the futures market at an artificially low price ahead of a widely expected devaluation of the Argentine peso.

The judge says the move allowed buyers to make a lot of money on the transaction.

Former Economy Minister Axel Kicillof, former Central Bank President Alejandro Vanoli and 12 other ex-government officials were also charged.

Ms Fernandez's supporters say she is innocent of many allegations that have dogged her and her administration for years.

Ms Fernandez is also a suspect in an investigation into money-laundering during her administration involving a close friend and business associate of both herself and her late husband Nestor Kirchner, who was president from 2003 to 2007.
