Argentine senator and former president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has called for her forthcoming corruption trial to be conducted in public.
Fernandez is charged with money laundering and making members of her former administration illicitly channel public works projects to a construction company owned by a family friend. She claims the charges are part of a witch-hunt against her by the ruling right-wing.
"For here on out I will present all the evidence regarding this arbitrary and biased case brought against me, which goes against my rights," she told Julian Ercolini, the federal judge presiding over her case.
In a push for transparency, de Kirchner now says she wants Ercolini to make her hearings open to the public.
