New negative news at the end of the year for the PRO and the leaders of the ex-alliance Let’s change: the federal judge Alejo Ramos Padilla moved forward with the prosecution of four leaders within the framework of the case of trout contributorswho are being investigated for illegitimately hiding the origin of the funds that financed the electoral campaigns of the PASO and generals of the year 2017 in the province of Buenos Airesat that time governed by María Eugenia Vidal.
The magistrate’s definition was twofold: on the one hand, he prosecuted Julián Vilche, Carla Silvia Chabán and Alfredo Gabriel Irigoin (financial managers of Cambiemos) now Mauricio Redigonda (proxy); while simultaneously rejected the exception request due to lack of action requested by the accused, who intended to avoid and initiate the criminal case until the “electoral process” was formalized.
Ramos Padilla considered that the four members of Cambiemos committed “various actions of insertion of false data in public documentsin particular, in the final reports of resources and campaign expenses”, and interpreted that enabling the exception request of the accused would represent hinder the investigation of those who commit criminal offenses in the framework of electoral processes. In turn, it was supported by the definition of Federal Court 1, which decided that the prolongation of the conflict of jurisdiction did not mean “depriving the investigation of the events of a criminal response.”
Trout contributors: what they are accused of
The covers for Cambiemos’ financial managers are “ideological falsification of public document” and “willful omission to accredit the origin of campaign funds”while for the agent he is “co-author of the ideological falsehood” and “necessary participant” in the second crime.
Specifically, the judicial investigation identified at least 316 receipts that were later unknown by those who appeared as contributors. Of that number, 55 were signed by Julian Vilche for a total of $554,500 (about u$s 35,000 of the time); another 96 by Alfredo Irigoin for $527,500 (US$33,000); 84 were signed by Carla Chaban for $442,250 (u$s 27,650); and 81 were endorsed by Mauricio Redigonda (u$s 27,450).
Most of that money was channeled in cash, which made tracking the money more complex. In turn, many of the false contributions were attributed to beneficiaries of social plans or people with disabilities.
“Without transparent accountabilitymainly regarding the origin of funds from private donations, It is impossible to know if the financing came from a specific company, from drug trafficking activities.of money linked to acts of corruption, terrorist activities, or other activity linked to organized crime,” the ruling stated.
At the same time, he considered that “it implies the concealment from citizens of the possible commitments that the parties and their candidates may have generated, by virtue of the financing provided by certain companies.” […] either Prohibited financing linked to acts of corruption, such as that from state companies, state concessionaire companies, private donations that exceed the limits established by law”.
