A questionnaire by D’Alessio IROL and Berensztein has indicated that out of 500 Argentines polled, seven out of 10 believe that former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner deserves a jail sentence. The ex head of state currently faces four charges and is being prosecuted in the Future Dollars Case. An overwhelming 69 percent of people surveyed believe that a jail sentence is justified, while only 25 percent believe that imprisonment is unwarranted. When asked if they believed whether Cristina would actually end up in jail, a majority of participants said they didn’t. US $10 billion worth of future dollar contracts were sold in December,when they were actually worth US $15 billion.
