Menem 's tenure suffered most from local economic fallout due to the Mexican peso crisis of 1995 . It became tainted by repeated accusations by opponents of corruption . Menem administration 's handling of the investigations of the 1992 Israeli Embassy bombing and the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires were criticised as being dishonest and superficial . He is suspected of diverting the investigation from clues suggesting Iranian involvement , to avoid engaging with that power over the attacks as well as covering for a family friend , Alberto Kanoore Edul , a Syrian-Argentine businessman suspected of involvement in the attacks
