MEXICO CITY (AP) - A Mexican judge ordered an Argentine journalist Tuesday to remove references to one of the first lady's sons in a book that claims he benefited financially from his family's political connections.
The judge also fined the journalist, Olga Wornat, and ordered that the ruling be published in a Mexican magazine that published excerpts of the book. The decision came in response to a civil lawsuit filed by Marta Sahagun's son Manuel Bribiesca, who claimed the book, titled "Cronicas Malditas," or roughly "Accursed Chronicles," caused him "moral damage."
Published in 2005, the book alleged that two of Sahagun's three sons, principally Manuel Bribiesca, had used their connections to get preferential treatment on federal government work contracts during the administration of President Vicente Fox, which began in December 2000.
