The investigation, which covers several provinces, also revealed that González, better known as “Gonzalito”, remains unlocated despite police efforts.
The investigators’ lines of work focus on the companies Betail SA and Edekom SA, owned by Kueider and González, which registered addresses in places where they never operated. In one case, Betail SA appeared in a house in Liniers that has been for sale for years. Neighbors confirmed that an older family lived there and there was never any business activity.
Edekom SA, registered in an office at Cerrito 1320 in the City of Buenos Aires, also showed no links to Kueider. Currently, an accounting firm outside of the investigations operates there. In addition, an apartment declared as Edekom’s tax domicile housed an employee of another company, who denied knowing Kueider or his firm.
Edgardo Kueider’s partner who does not appear
Rodolfo González, partner of Kueider, could not be located at the addresses registered in his name in the City of Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires and Entre Ríos. In one of them, his son admitted to residing, but only provided a telephone number that did not turn out to be useful.
The search also included a ranch on Route 14, where only a sign was found that said: “El Maná de mi Angelito.” In Morón, neighbors acknowledged having seen him in a building, but he was not found despite a subsequent raid.
Kueider’s companies are under scrutiny in two court cases. One, led by prosecutor José Arias in Concordia, investigates alleged illicit enrichment during his period in Congress. The other, directed by federal judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado, analyzes maneuvers to hide assets through trusts.
Both investigations have revealed connections between Kueider and González, who gave him a truck valued at $40,000 for personal use. This vehicle was used by the former senator to cross into Paraguay and is also part of the judicial analysis.
Kueider case: raids and a conflict of powers
Last week, simultaneous raids were carried out at several addresses, including offices in Combate de los Pozos, two blocks from Congress. In one of them, the phone of a lawyer associated with González was kidnapped.
The situation could lead to a conflict of jurisdiction between the investigations of Arias and Arroyo Salgado, which could be resolved by the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, prosecutors continue to collect evidence about the network of false addresses, hidden assets and suspicious activities related to the companies and their owners.
