An Argentine judge ordered former President Alberto Fernández to go to trial for an alleged case of corruption related to insurance policies subscribed by government agencies during his mandate, between 2019 and 2023.

Fernández will be prosecuted for “negotiations incompatible with the exercise of the public function,” according to the judgment of Judge Sebastián Casanello, published in Argentine media and confirmed by the defending lawyer, Mariana Barbitta, the AFP agency reported.

The former Argentine president, 66, is accused of fraudulent administration for the use of intermediaries by his government, one of which allegedly had links with his office, to hire insurance policies that could have been negotiated directly.

The main intermediary was allegedly the husband of Fernández's personal secretary.
