...year in the process. Ruthless, violent and vain (last year he underwent an operation to trim back his bulbous nose), he spent millions each month bribing a network of corrupt officials in the government. Those payments made him untouchable during the administration of former President Carlos Salinas de Gortari. Now, however, they make him dangerous: the list of public officials in his pocket could cause a scandal of enormous proportions...

Reports that his brother stashed $84 million in Swiss bank accounts have prompted former Mexican president Carlos Salinas de Gortari to fire back at his critics, faxing letters to news organizations saying he is willing to testify about his brother's legal problems and the problems of his one-time administration.

Former Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari has yet to appear in public in the United States, despite reports that he left Mexico last weekend for an American exile, perhaps in Boston. Salinas' reputation has plummeted at home and abroad since his older brother, Raul, was arrested two weeks ago for allegedly conspiring to kill a top Mexican official.
