Chapa called the relationship between Munoz Rocha and Raul Salinas ``close'' and cited phone records and testimony of witnesses to document their ``discreet but consistent'' contact before and after the murder. Chapa said Munoz Rocha made two calls from a hideout in the suburb of Pachuca afterward; the first was to Raul Salinas. Before he disappeared in Pachuca on Sept. 29, Munoz Rocha visited the home of Raul Salinas.

Since then, the ex-president has taken much of the blame for the collapse of Mexico's economy. A hunger strike staged to demand that his name be cleared has done little to enhance his standing. Salinas and his family reportedly...
