The Usual

Reuters reports via Yahoo News that media in Argentina say former President Cristina Fernandez and various fat-cat cronies are being investigated or under indictment for money laundering. This is sadly typical of Latin American regimes.

It is also one reason various Presidents in the region try to stay in office indefinitely, often by extra-constitutional means. Leaving office can mean prison, as in Fujimori's case, or exile. Hat tip to Drudge Report for the link.
