Thousands of followers of Argentina's former president and current Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner took to the streets in her defense Saturday, days after two prosecutors called for a 12-year prison sentence and a ban on public office for alleged corruption during her government.
Prosecutors accused Fernandez de Kirchner on Monday of defrauding the state and involvement in a scheme to divert public funds while president between 2007 and 2015.
