El Factor Humano”, 18 Cf. Magazine Noticias, edition No. 984 of November 5, 1995 (case file of annexes to the Report No. 82/10, annex 3, tome I, folios 137, 206 and 207). There it reads: [The health of the former wife of Mr. Menem was linked] to the knowledge of certain details of the relationship of Carlos Menem (65) with the provincial deputy of Formosa Martha Meza (43), mother of Carlos Nair (14, alleged illegitimate son of President, whom he sees regularly and gives gifts). Meza said the teenager was the result of his circumstantial gatherings with Menem during the years of his confinement in the town of Las Lomitas, a relationship never denied by the President. In a complaint made by Meza due to a robbery, at the end of 1994, she refers to jewelry of a value of U.S. $230,000 'which was gifted to her by the President of the Nation,’ as stated in the record of the investigation of the robbery[. O]n Wednesday 31 of [May of 1995], at five o'clock of the afternoon, Menem took in, at the Casa Rosada, Martha Meza with his son Carlos Nair [Meza]. Some fear that the president will fulfill his willingness to acknowledge his paternity over Carlos Nair, once the divorce is finalized. 19 Cf. Magazine Noticias, edition No. 984, supra note 18, folio 207. It reads: [o]n this final 'Day of Loyalty,' Carlos Menem sent a Honda bike 100 to Formosa. [Carlos Nair Meza] received the presidential gift on his 14th birthday[.] The boy is known as 'the son of Menem,' due to the title his mother, the Martha Meza PJ legislator, makes constantly since she took seat in 1987. [I]n November 94, she declared that she was victim to a robbery and said: '[t]hey took a Rolex of gold inlaid with diamonds, a gift from the President of the Nation, of 140,000 pesos and other jewels.' The 'other jewels' were 'twenty rings, four bracelets, four pairs of earrings, a necklace and several thick chains, all of gold, for a total of $ 230,000', as stated in the case file. [Mrs. Meza’s drive] recalls that he charged Meza a $ 50,000 legislative salary for non-existent, employees and that 'once a month he took Carlos Nair to Buenos Aires, for Menem to see him,' whom the boy called 'Daddy' and with whom he shares his passion for vertigo and speed. [Mrs. Meza] earns $ 3,808 per month and is completing the building of a mansion of $ 350,000, thanks in part to the monthly amount that is given to her by the President. In the middle of 1994, the woman agreed [with two people close to Mr. Menem] upon a remittance of $ 20,000, which she religiously collects in Buenos Aires[. T]he agreement was finalized after Meza, and her his son, asked for asylum in Paraguay, due to threats. From there, she claimed they wanted to kidnap Carlos Nair and according to her ex driver, she is the one who threatened the President with initiating a paternity action before the OAS, unless she received $50,000,000. 12
