Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, Argentina's former president, and ex-minister Julio Miguel De Vido face a US entry ban due to corruption accusations linked to public works contracts. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused them of orchestrating bribery schemes that cost the Argentine government millions. Despite her ongoing political relevance, Fernandez de Kirchner's reputation has been tarnished by legal issues, including a 2022 conviction for illegally awarding state contracts. She publicly blamed current president Javier Milei for the US actions against her, reflecting the contentious political climate in Argentina.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Fernandez de Kirchner and former Planning Minister Julio Miguel De Vido "abused their positions by orchestrating and financially benefiting from multiple bribery schemes involving public works contracts."
The former president accused current president Javier Milei of orchestrating the decision, stating, "You left your prints all over this," reflecting her disdain towards his influence.
