Deputies Graciela Ocaña and Gustavo Gutiérrez will today display to Justice documentation that contains "indications" that ex-president Carlos Menem would not have deposited an indemnification that received like political prisoner in a Swiss bank but that it would have used it to buy a department.

Ocaña advanced that it will make this presentation before the public prosecutor Carlos Stornelli, which will force Menem to give new explanations on the bottoms that it admitted to have in an account in Switzerland and that according to the ex-agent chief executive is the originating ones of an indemnification.

Menem recognized in a granted interview the CNN to have opened an account in Switzerland to name of its ex-wife Zulema Yoma and her daughter in 1986, in whom it has deposited 600 thousand dollars. The 25 of February of that year, 1986, the ex- president received 154,851 austral ones in one of the 3 remittances that to him justice by the damages caused during the military dictatorship turned, when he was imprisoned.

What called the attention of the legislators (Ocaña, of the ARI, and democrat Gutiérrez) it is that Menem notarized a department four months after to have received the indemnification.

In addition, in a news article published by the magazine People in 1990, Menem speaks on its halting and indicates that it received more than 100,000 dollars by a demand against the State and that with that money made "some acquisitions, some financial businesses".

On the other hand, Menem would have to explain how it did so that 200,000 dollars initial have tripled, since it is impossible that it has obtained an interest rate of the 6.93 percent in a Swiss bank, indicated Ocaña. "this information arrived an email to Me at my office telling me.

This line of investigation would give rise to a "crime of evasion" because "that account has never been denounced by no person in Argentina", indicated Ocaña.

The deputy remembered that the "evasion is not a penal crime in Switzerland thus is not a sufficient reason like so that Swiss justice raises the financial secret", but indicated that "there are other crimes that the tax subject extends". Ocaña will solicit, in addition, new an investigatory one of Zulema Yoma, "first was denied by judge Oyarbide, we hope that in this case it agrees to take this testimony that we create power station because Zulema already the last year testified in the cause by the contraband of arms when it appeared east subject of the accounts that Menem denied '".
