An appeals court has ruled that DNA be extracted from the corpse of former Argentine President Juan Peron to investigate a woman's claim that he is her biological father.
The order came after Martha Holgado, 71, shocked Argentines in 1993 by claiming her mother had a relationship with Peron while he was married to first wife Aurelia Tizon.
The court rejected a move by Peron's third wife, Maria Martinez, to block a DNA test.
