A federal court in Argentina has granted former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner house arrest to serve her six-year sentence for corruption charges.
fernandez has dismissed the allegations against her as political attacks.
Her detention comes after Argentina’s Supreme Court last week upheld her conviction and barred her from running for public office ever again.
Fernandez served as Argentina’s president from 2007 to 2015, after succeeding her husband, the late Nestor Kirchner.
