The prosecutor asked to send “k” financier Ernesto Clarens to a trial laundering money from corruption.

On Thursday, federal prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita announced 12 people accused of giving legal guarantees for negotiations of more than $500 million “due to acts of corruption” such as financier Ernesto Clarens by Judge Julian Ercolini, who is the axis of the Australian group, to give concessions to public works to Lázaro Baez) When the country.” Baez, Cristina offered these resources to Vice President Kirchner and former It is the focus of another judicial process in which an employee is prosecuted.

Clarens was chosen by Néstor Kirchner as the preferred financier and would have organized engineering to be able to move the money under investigation. His company, called Invernes, was always suspected that this meant “investing in the Nestore”. For 10 years he moved from a simple broker to one of the most powerful operators in Kirchnerism, and in 2018 when the laptop case exploded, he made a statement that put pressure between the prosecutor Carlos Stornelli and the deceased judge. Mega among the “regrets” of. File It has become one. Claudio Bonadio embraces his role as the “defendant collaborator” at the time.

In a 140-page commentary accessed by Infobae, Prosecutor Pollicita explained how Báez, the designated organizer of the illegal association, “co-founded complex financial engineering using Ernesto Clarens to provide legal insight into the funds received by the Baez Group company from the state. statement through fraud in a public road construction in which he was prosecuted.”

According to the Prosecutor's Office, “there is an intimate connection between the illegal administrative fraud association and the money laundering investigated here.” Why? According to the prosecutor's office, in this case, “after stealing funds from the country through fraud in public road works, Baez was able to confirm that he could freely dispose of his money using streets and recycling processes. The maneuver was through “fiction about expenses that do not exist in public works.”

That is why he pointed out that the previous crime of money laundering was the disappointment of a country where Julio de Vido, former planning minister Cristina Kirchner, is under trial with former Minister of Public Works José Lopez and Nestor Kirchner's cousin Carlos Santiago Kirchner (Carlos Santiago Kirchner). We are currently taking the final stage in the oral trial with the last witness, and before the end of the year. The decision can be reached. As reflected by the Court itself, we add more hearings to proceed with the proceedings.

Pollicita, who investigated the case against the CFK, said in the case currently being discussed in the Federal Oral Court 2: “Between May 2003 and December 2015, a corruption plan was implemented so that officials with competence in the field of public works - the president, minister, secretary and deputy secretary-A very large amount of public funds were allocated to the National Highway Administration, with the involvement of local authorities, to the province of Santa Cruz.” In this way, “it is irregularly granted to the Báez company”. I received almost 80% of the work funded by the state.” That is, “51 contracts for the total amount updated in August 2016 totaled 46 billion pesos, amounting to a total of $3 million at the time.”

Pollicita said that with the money Baez appealed to Ernesto Clarence. “And they developed a complex money laundering mechanism, using the contributions of the rest of the defendants, based on the fictitious conclusions of successive commercial and financial intermediaries under the pretext of one-time expenses. Although it is a public business, it has no real commercial purpose, it aimed to show a legal appearance and convert it into money of about 160 million dollars or more at the time.

This comment explains how the money laundering maneuver was. The first step was to “deliver at least 790 million pesos from Australian construction to GOTTI SA (Báez).” “The first company was able to convert more than a quarter of its sales to the latter, turning it into a bridge company,” the objective was “to provide funds to Ernesto Clarens, who controlled Invernest, who entrusted the financial management of GOTTI SA,” and at the same time “to withdraw funds from illegal sources at the largest public exhibition in construction in Australia”.

The second step, according to the Prosecutor's Office, was to “withdraw funds from the Báez Group through a simulation of nonexistent costs that appear to be operations related to the common costs required by GOTTI SA's public works.” More than 8,000 invoices from 65 suppliers totaled 677 million pesos in virtual costs.

The third phase of the maneuver occurred when the accounting of resources for companies outside the group was guaranteed. Among these funders, the main funders were controlled by the Clarens group, “which allowed them to disrupt traceability by crossing the distance of funds into cash,” he explained. “All this happened continuously and simultaneously until January 2005 (when the first transfer of funds occurred) and December 2009, when the last check of Invernest was deducted,” he added.

Clarence's accusations of the incident arrived in November 2020. The Federal Chamber of Commerce confirmed the accusations of the main defendants in September 2021 and ruled on the lack of merit of others involved. Although the case is still under investigation by several suspects, the prosecutor asked him to go to trial, understanding that the analysis of evidence against those involved with Clarence was complete.These are Alberto Eduardo di Gianni, Guido Santiago Blondo, and Rafael Matteo Mulleo Ni, Cesar Gerardo Andres and Andres Kekian, Armando Ole, Hector Daniel Doldi and Maria Julia Sith, Andrea Daniela Kantin, Martin Samuel Jacobs, and Emilio Carlos Martin.
