The highest criminal court in the country rejected the appeal of Alejandro Burzaco’s lawyers against the resolution that ordered to revoke his dismissal, that of Hugo Víctor Jinkis, Mariano Alejo Jinkis and TyC Sport SA. The case began from an investigation carried out by the United States Department of Justice.
Chamber II of the Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation, with the votes of judges Alejandro W. Slokar and Guillermo J. Yacobucci, declared inadmissible the appeal filed by the defense of Alejandro Burzaco against the sentence handed down by the National Court of Appeals for Economic Criminal Matters in which it was decided to revoke the dismissal of the person named and the remaining defendants.
In order to decide, the judges considered that Burzaco’s defense limited the expression of its grievances to mere judgments that disagreed with the decision-maker whose challenge it postulated, which was not enough to refute the reasoning that the Court of Appeals had made on the matter.
The main case was initiated as a result of the complaint filed against Alejandro Burzaco, Hugo Víctor Jinkis, Mariano Alejo Jinkis, TOURNAMENTS AND COMPETITIONS SA, FULL PLAY SA, FULL PLAY INTERNACIONAL, TELEVISIÓN SA and TyC Sport SA., for the alleged commission of tax evasion and illicit tax association, in conjunction with the concealment of assets from illicit activities. The complaint had its origin in an investigation carried out by the United States Department of Justice.
According to the accusation in this file, The defendants would have been part of an illicit association composed of three or more people who, at least during the years 2010 to 2016, would have been destined to commit undetermined tax crimes. In addition, they would have perpetrated evasion of payment of Income Tax to which the taxpayer TyC SA was obligated for the sums of $23,905,339.28 in the 2012 fiscal period; $70,142,647.03 in fiscal period 2013; $208,844,500.25 for the fiscal period 2014; $259,905,339.28 for the fiscal period 2015; and $154,005,359.14 for the fiscal period 2016.
The aforementioned evasions would have occurred through the concealment of million-dollar sums obtained from the marketing of rights to certain soccer tournaments, for which different companies linked to Torneos y Competencias SA and Alejandro Burzaco would have been used.
According to the Court of Appeals, the maneuvers allegedly used to conceal clandestine bribe payments and marginal profits obtained by T.YC. SA in the period between 2012 and 2016, would arise from the statement given on 11/16/2015 before the United States District Court Eastern District of New York, through which Burzaco acknowledged his guilt of a series of crimes and of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement entered into by the representative of that company on 12/13/2016 with the United States Federal Prosecutor’s Office for the Eastern District of New York.
