{{Fernando De la Rua, Argentina’s former president, has been cleared of bribery charges.}}
An Argentine court found on Monday that de la Rua was innocent of bribing senators to pass a controversial work reform bill as the country’s economy neared bankruptcy more than a decade ago.
De la Rua and seven others, including a former labour minister, senators and a congressional worker, were absolved of charges of paying out bribes estimated at $5m to a group of senators for their support in a labour law that would have weakened workers rights, as the country faced an economic collapse 13 years ago.
