Abstract:
On July 5, the Argentine Ministry of Justice, based on the principle of territoriality, refused to extradite persons requested by Spain in drug-related money laundering charges. At the same time, the Ministry stated it considered as doubtful a recent request to Interpol by Spanish judge Baltazar Garzon requqesting the arrest of Amira Yoma, the sister-in-law and president of courts for President Carlos Menem, as well as her ex-spouse, Ibrahim Al Ibrahim.
