The former President of Argentina, Carlos Menem, has been formally charged with involvement in arms-trafficking.
Prosecutors said Mr Menem had illegally sold weapons to Croatia and Ecuador in the 1990s, when they were involved in conflicts. He denies the charges.
Mr Menem, who has been ill, took part in the session on a video-link from the northern province of La Rioja.
