The State Department has banned former Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kricher from entering the United States, accusing her of involvement in "significant corruption" while in office.
The State Department also banned Fernandez's planning minister Julio Miguel De Vido and their families.
Fernandez and De Vido "abused their positions by orchestrating and financially benefiting from multiple bribery schemes involving public works contracts, resulting in millions of dollars stolen from the Argentine government," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement released Friday.
