"They identified these trading houses as the channels used for stealing Argentinean black money to the Banco Privado de Andorra (BPA), from where it was later transferred to other countries, including Switzerland and the United States.

Andorran justice, for its part, has sought the cooperation of the Argentine courts to advance its own investigation against the BPA for the laundering of hundreds of millions of euros related to the "way of money K" and "Lava Jato "for years.

The judicial authorities of the Principality wish to make a statement, by videoconference, to two men of Muñoz, Sergio Todisco and his ex-wife, Elizabeth Ortiz Municoy, as well as several financial operators and "caves" of Mar del Plata. Among them, Oscar Rigano, one of the owners of Jonestur, who faces another investigation in this city by the federal prosecutor Laura Mazzaferri, but who tried to prevent the Federal Chamber of Mar del Plata.

"In Mar del Plata, I sent money through" Jonestur ", with Oscar Rígano, head of the finance company," Todisco confessed, adding that he knew this operator since the age of 18 years. "I was fully aware of what we were doing with my ex-wife and that's why I regret it," he said. He also identified other trading houses involved in the operation: "La Moneta" in Mar del Plata and "Financlbad", and "Alhec Tours", in Buenos Aires.

According to Todisco, these trading desks also functioned as "caves" allowing money to escape from the country for a commission ranging between 1% and 1.5%, although it was not possible to use the money. "There have been peaks where the cost has reached up to 6%," he said. "We went to La Moneta, Jonestur, Financlbad and Alhec, the four who worked the hardest."

The dynamics could vary, added Todisco, but it still included large amounts of cash. "The bags were loaded into my car and I announced to the financial manager a day before the next day that I was going to attend," he recalls. "If I went to Financlbad, I would leave the car in the car park on Corrientes Avenue and Reconquista Street, and carry the luggage to the safe."

During his confession, Todisco also explained that Rígano, of Jonestur, was "the partner of the owners of Giovinazzo of Buenos Aires", in accordance with which weeks later, as a repentant, said the former coach of Kirchner, Víctor Manzanares.

At the request of Muñoz, Manzanares admitted accompanying his wife, Carolina Pochetti, to an office of Lloyds Bank, in the Buenos Aires building known as "El Rulero", where an account manager had told him suggested to turn to Giovinazzzo to get 2 US dollars. millions of Argentina.

"Secret Office"

"On the next trip, we went to Giovinazzo with Carolina Pochetti, they sent us to a sort of secret office, at the back, where people were waiting to enter through a door and to cross boxes." explained Manzanares. "When the time came, that door opened and we were taken to Carolina with a box and Caroline took about $ 400,000 in a purse with the intention of transferring them." They counted the bills manually and when the operation is over, we left, "she said." The rest of the warrants, until the completion of the 2 millions of dollars, continued to be pbaded by Carolina without my support. "

Giovinazzo and Jonestur are both being investigated in the Principality of Andorra on allegations of money laundering related to the Argentine chapter of "Lava Jato" and to revealed kirchnerism.

At that time, and before the consultation of this newspaper, Jonestur had admitted to having "outstanding problems in Andorra", but had denied any criminal involvement: "They want to badociate us with Kirchner's operations, but nothing binds us to this sector. , Mr. Muñoz or Odebrecht, "they said. "No one from Jonestur has been summoned to declare himself in Andorra nor face any official accusation."
