Remains of Menem Jr exhumed amid murder claims in Argentina
Remains of Menem Jr exhumed amid murder claims in Argentina
1 hour ago
The remains of the son of the former Argentine President, Carlos Menem, have been exhumed, 22 years after he died in a helicopter crash.
A judge ordered the exhumation as part of a new investigation into the cause of his death.
Carlos Saúl Facundo Menem, known in Argentina as Carlitos or Menem Jr, died when the helicopter he was flying crashed into high-voltage cables.
His mother Zulema Yoma said he was the victim of a terrorist attack.
She believes he was shot in the head and the body in his grave may have been swapped to hide evidence of a bullet wound. He was 26 when he died on 15 March 1995.
