Menem charged with arms-smuggling

The former President of Argentina, Carlos Menem, has been formally charged with involvement in arms-trafficking.

Prosecutors said Mr Menem had illegally sold weapons to Croatia and Ecuador in the 1990s, when they were involved in conflicts. He denies the charges.
