Argentina's Menem to Cooperate in Corruption Probe
Mon Dec 27, 2004 12:53 PM ET


BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) - Former Argentine President Carlos Menem, who aims to return to power, pledged on Monday to start cooperating with two judges who are investigating corruption charges against him.
Menem, who governed from 1989 to 1999, returned to Argentina from Chile on Wednesday to launch his political comeback after the judges withdrew international warrants for his arrest in two separate indictments.

They had issued the warrants after Menem, 74, repeatedly eluded court summons and fled across the Andes to live with his Chilean wife and their toddler son.

The judges continue looking into charges Menem -- or his close relatives and aides -- hid money from tax authorities in Swiss bank accounts and misused public funds during the construction of two prisons.

On Monday, Menem softened his antagonism toward the courts, signing an order to show up for questioning and not leave the country without a judge's permission. Otherwise, the court will freeze $1 million of his assets.

Former Argentine President Carlos Menem (R) arrives next to his brother Eduardo Menem to La Rioja airport, December 22, 2004. The 74-year-old politician, tainted by corruption charges, who governed from 1989 to 1999 and is aspiring to run for president again in 2007, arrived today after a self-exile in Chile. Last April, two judges issued separate arrest orders for Menem after he failed to return from Chile to answer court summons, but this week those arrest warrants were withdrawn.
