Shakira's suegro in trouble

19:03 H | Topics: Argentina - Justice - Politics

Fernando_de_la_R%C3%BAa_-_con_bandera_-_2001.jpgThe iron fist of justice is coming down on former Argentine president Fernando De la Rúa (a.k.a. Shakira's boyfriend's dad) and the charges are anything but light: five counts of manslaughter and injuries to hundred of protesters, for starters.

Though it's not yet a formal indictment -- the courts are still trying to ascertain who was responsible for the acts of repression which left citizens dead or injured in December 2001 -- Argentine judge Claudio Bonadío has ordered the 6.2 million dollars of De la Rúa's assets be frozen.

According to Reuters, if the case is approved by a higher court it will go to trial. It will be interesting to see, if that does happen, whether or not Antonio De la Rúa, a close advisor to his father, will also be asked to testify.
