Latin American leaders sent their support to Argentina's Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner on Wednesday, after prosecutors asked for extensive prison time in her corruption proceedings.
In a letter widely published on social media, the presidents of Mexico, Colombia and Bolivia said they backed Fernandez de Kirchner two days after a federal prosecutor requested she get a 12-year jail sentence if found guilty. She is charged with defrauding the state and involvement in a scheme to divert public funds while president from 2007 to 2015.
