The country's largest cocaine trafficker funded a cartoon with celebrity voices and public funds

There were others noisier and bloodthirsty, more addicted to killers and armed deaths, with a much longer corpse trail behind him, but legend by legend, kilo per kilo, dollar per dollar, luxury car by luxury car, the lawyer Carlos Alberto Salvatore, brain of the case White carbonIt was the biggest the biggest narco of Argentine history.

Salvadore He died convicted in May 2018 in a hospital bed Argerich, a heart patient in a serious condition. The Federal Court of Chaco had given him 21 years in prison in September 2015 for exporting 1,200 kilos of cocaine between 2011 and 2012 from the city of Quitilipí to Spain with, precisely, sacks of coal. Salvatore was not sentenced for life for this crime. He saw the final audience of a teleconference in Ezeiza Prisonwith his blue fleece, a shirt, his sinister clbadic gesture.

It was a tense trial, of great fear, in a cause undermined by threats: Salvatore himself had been heard on the phone during a phone call in which there had been talk of the murder of the original judge, Zunilda Niremperger. The lawyer talked about going "to the jugular" to the magistrate. During the proceedings, prosecutors Carlos Amad and Federico Carniel, who investigated Salvatore, they received intimidation letters in their cars and their offices. "They sent you back but you're going to have a bad time," Amad received in his new Salta court office.

The 1200 kilos of Carbón Blanco were not the only ones attributed to Salvatore and his organization: there were another 1,200 people who had traveled from Campana to Valencia, also hidden in coal, for which he was treated by the Federal Court No. 2 of Lomas de Zamora with an embargo of 100 million pesos. 235 others, also from Campana in 2008, this time in tins of peach and quince. July 2010, Salvatore was accused of sending 762 kilos, this time to Bilbao, in a container belonging to the company Agroforestal del Litoral SRL. The drug, again, was in sacks of coal.

The list is long: December 2011, 500 kilos, still from Quitilipí to Torres Vedras, Portugal. He was also prosecuted for this case, in charge of the Federal Presidential Court, Roque Sáenz Peña. 2012, the final shipment, 1200 kilos still from the port of Zárate in drums of pear pulp, cause of the Federal Court of Bell.

L & # 39; adding: 5097 kilograms total, more than five tons, at a current sale price in the wholesale business in the province of Buenos Aires more than $ 50 million, about ten thousand dollars a kilo.

That is, a lot of cocaine, which has no fictitious value. It generated money, according to federal justice, and That money went somewhere.

Today, the long shadow of Carlos Salvatore is again before the Federal Federal Court of Chaco. Your inheritance is what is judged now, in a process that began in late October 2018. Silvia Susana Vallés, wife of Salvatore, Santiago Vallés Ferrer, his father-in-law, his daughter, Carla Yanina Salvatore and Ricardo Gbadan Saba, a historical name in their plot, face one of the the biggest money laundering lawsuits In recent times, a document requesting the appearance in court of more than 200 veneers was signed in 2017 by the prosecutor Carlos Sansserri and Laura Roteta and Gabriel Pérez Barberá, at that time. the leaders of PROCELAC, commercial laborers dating back to at least 2005.

There is land in the province of Buenos Aires, some of more than 150 hectares, luxury cars with brands such as Porsche and Mercedes-Benz, properties in the federal capital and in Mar del Plata, deposits on bank accounts in various banks, executives of companies in Argentina and Uruguay, AFIP reports mentioning illogical possibilities of such operations, in particular a notary party to the conspiracy has denounced a suspicious transaction to the UIF for the purchase of a property in Lomas de Zamora in 2006 for $ 350,000 while its market value was four times higher.

There are some a report from the Department of Homeland Security from the United States who quotes the trial before trial that says Salvatore "owns several properties and at least one bank account in the state of Florida" and that "Homeland Security received regular information on Mr. Salvatore's activities, from 2006, when we received information that Salvatore took with him are important money", suspects the US agency," to launder drug trafficking badets. "

The researchers received from the United States a report from five companies as Casilugi Corporation and Genesis Vocational Institute, several integrated by Salvatore and his wife. Homeland Security "could not determine either the nature or its title", with related products such as two apartments on Collins Avenue, a restaurant, detected mails that speak of transfers to the Bank of America.

There is no total calculation of money. Researchers can not say it. The FIU, led by Mariano Federici, he is a complainant at the trial washing with lawyers Martín Olari Ugrotte and Facundo Orazi. Olari Ugrotte, in her plea last week before the Court, spoke of an estimate close to $ 20 million in real estate money, with more than 60 properties already seized.

And then there is the movie of the birds.

Plumíferos: Adventures in flight, the story of Juan, a sparrow dreaming of being an exotic bird and Feifi, a caged canary, published in February 2010, with the voices of Mariano Martínez and Luisana Lopilato, and animated with software open sourceIt was not a memorable movie, there were critics who destroyed it at the time. It was also not a box office boom, just over 52 thousand spectators in its first year in theaters, 88,000 until mid-2016, a very poor number, with a distribution of Sony Pictures.

The film however had an interesting survival: Has been sold in a dozen countries and Netflix has announced among its novelties for its Latin platform in 2017. He became for the American market in Birds of paradise, an attempt in 2014 to compete with the macaws of Rio 2, with the voices of Ken Jeong, Mr. Chow in the movies of The hangoverand comedians like Jane Lynch or Jon Lovitz, who played Jay Sherman in The critic.

Plumíferosincredibly, lHe won a series of nominations at the Goya Awards according to the own site of the greatest awards of cinema in Spanish language. There are several articles, among them, the production There, in the list, the main producer is mentioned: CS Entertainment, Carlos Salvatore, with a capital estimated by the federal judge of 700 thousand dollars.

The long accusation that the Attorney General's Office and the FIU accused the Salvatore clan of bringing him to justice for money launderinge special mention for Plumíferos. Apparently, Salvatore did not have a shredder: the raid on his offices on the 7th floor of La Pampa street in 1500 reported a co-production contract between CS Entertainment and Manos Digitales Entertainment, the second signature of the film, dated June 2, 2006.

They would contribute 350 thousand dollars each according to the agreement in nine installments, Manos Digitales "would be in charge of the direction and executive production of the feature film", as well as "technicians, actors and equipment", indicates the trial trial of 2017.

Numeric hands, curiously, she had been created as a company just a month before CS Entertainment in December 2005, something that caught the attention of researchers. Salvatore, however, was not part of the Manos Digitales repertoire. Prosecutors use a suggestive term: "man from behind in the maneuver". An email sent by someone who would be the spouse of one of the Manos Digitales heads, dated March 2010, tells Salvatore "acquired the company by an individual badignment contract".

"52 thousand spectators the first year? They recovered with INCAA string"declares a historical actor of the Argentine film sector. This is not wrong. The researchers asked information at the National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts. INCAA confirmed that Plumíferos, in fact, received a grant from Manos Digitales: one million pesos granted between September and October 2010, six months after the first. The screenwriter of the film received 120,000 pesos more.

Meanwhile, CS Entertainment it was a shell according to the AFIP data, did not record any workers between 2005 and 2010, at least in white, real estate or filming equipment. Yes, he registered bank accreditations: three million pesos in 2014, 220 thousand in 2015. According to the Central Bank, Salvatore and his wife, currently on trial at Chaco, were the agents of a current account at Banco Francés.

There was however a third name in the production: Telefe.

Through "a new draft agreement"According to the MPF, it would have been established that the film would have an additional production cost of $ 750,000. Added to this, the new member, Telefe, would badume the role of financial co-producer"

Eight years later, a lead actor breaks the silence. Ensures that Telefe "He put only 70 thousand dollars", which for the air chain was an interesting opportunity to test the production of an animated feature film, an element that would explode later with the phenomenon of Metegol. Nobody suspected anything. White carbon I was not at the horizon. "You had a recognized director and he brought you this project, it was interesting. What to Salvatore Googleabas and it came to you that he was a lawyer dedicated to real estate. There was no criminal case, nothing. What did we know about drug trafficking? "

The agreement with Telefe, on the other hand, was concluded found in the raid on the office of the street La Pampa, in box number 22, in a blue folder.

Salvatore I was not even too much in the production meetings. He was barely seen twice. Everyone had the same impression: a serious lawyer. In the end, said the source, "Telefe lost money, the film is sold but by two handles, the actors charged the minimum bolus of Argentores to be in a cabin and give some notes. "

No actor or co-producer has been charged in the process for washing. The FIU demands penaltiesOne year for Carla Salvatore and ten years for Silvia Vallés, in addition to heavy fines.

The verdict of the Federal Court of Chaco should end of this month.
