faced charges relating to the awarding of public contracts during her time in office.
The court acquitted her on another count of "illicit association."

hit out at the ruling, saying it revealed a, QUOTE: "judicial mafia" operated in the South American country.
The case has divide Argentina with thousands of Fernandez de Kirchner's supporters taking to the streets earlier in the day.
This left-wing activist called the judges corrupt and said the case amounted to, quote "lawfare".
The country is on edge after a long economic crisis and inflation heading toward 100%.
Fernandez de Kirchner is expected to appeal Tuesday's ruling,
with the case likely to spend years winding through higher courts.
