Amado Boudou, Argentina's vice president under Cristina Kirchner, was arrested today on charges including money laundering and hiding undeclared assets, court sources said.
Judge Ariel Lijo ordered his arrest in a case initially brought in 2012. Boudou was economy minister from 2009-2011, then served as vice president from 2011 until Kirchner left office in December 2015.
