Trial of Argentina's ex-president delayed until May

The first corruption trial against former Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was postponed until May 21, due to health problems of a federal judge, the judiciary's news agency CIJ said.

The trial, originally scheduled to start on February 26, focuses on Fernández de Kirchner's alleged maneuvers to benefit businessman Lázaro Baez with road contracts in Santa Cruz province.

Court documents reveal that the supreme court's investigations unit had full access to work certificates and payments linked to the firms involved.

Last week, the same tribunal rejected a request from Fernández de Kirchner's defense team which argued the trial should be delayed until all inquiries were completed.

Aside from the ex-president, the investigation also targets Baez and former planning minister Julio de Vido.

Fernández de Kirchner is facing another trial in the Los Sauces probe, which involves an alleged asset laundering scheme. She is also the target in seven other investigations around the Notebooks bribe scandal.
