Argentina’s Federal police officers of the explosives division arrive to raid a property of former Argentine President and current senator Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner as part of the so-called corruption notebooks case, in Recoleta neighbourhood, Buenos Aires, on August 23, 2018. The move came after judge Claudio Bonadio successfully petitioned the Senate on Wednesday to partially lift Kirchner’s parliamentary immunity so her three residences could be searched for evidence of multi-million dollar bribes paid by businessmen in exchange for public works contracts during her administration. As a senator, Kirchner enjoys congressional immunity from imprisonment, though not prosecution. Juan MABROMATA / AFP
