The brother and father of Argentina's President Mauricio Macri are to testify in court this week over their alleged involvement in a huge kickbacks scandal known as the "corruption notebooks" case, France24 reported  quoting AFP.

Franco and Gianfranco Macri are to testify on Thursday in a Buenos Aires court over the alleged payment of bribes by which their construction company, Socma, secured contracts to complete two stretches of a state highway.

The alleged bribery took place while deceased former president Nestor Kirchner was in power from 2003-2007.

He was succeeded in the presidency by his wife, Cristina Kirchner, and both are suspected of accepting millions of dollars in bribes from businessmen in exchange for public works contracts.

Macri's family members were summoned to testify following statements by former top road works' official Claudio Uberti, who has cooperated with prosecutors.
