He did not mention once to Cristina Kirchner nor did he use the words Kirchnerism or corruption. This was not necessary. The federal judge Claudio Bonadio He used legal language to launch several political messages at the same time. "EIn Argentina, we are more and more willing to unravel the financial management of money laundering "," I had little confidence in the law of the penitent, but I admit that I was wrong, because it has many served "and" with the standards in force, the confiscation can be ordered of property which in practice is the domain extinction "said the magistrate who today continued the former president for using official planes to transport newspapers to Santa Cruz during his tenure.

Bonadio launched this new series of strong expressions on a hot day for Argentine judicial policy at a conference on "Money laundering and terrorist financing at the triple border", Produced by the Continental Security Network (HSN) in collaboration with the Taeda Foundation and Finint.

In one of the salons of the Regiment of Patricios grocery store, Judge Bonadio also advanced a specific measure concerning the case of the cuamos of the coimas del kirchnerismo. He stated that the Criminal and Correctional Court No. 11, on his charge, is about to confiscate "many property" because they are related and have proven their connection with money laundering in this emblematic case of corruption K.

Bonadio also stressed that "international cooperation is of utmost importance for conducting money laundering investigations" and stressed that "In the last six years, Argentina is better prepared to unravel the financial management of money laundering".

During a conference at which he participated with the Federal Judge of Brazil Rodrigo Pessoa, moderated by the journalist Jorge Liotti, and who thanked the "courage and bravery" of the organizers of the event as they were Juan Félix Marteau and Mario MontotoBonadio has spoken openly about the legal tools he has put in place to advance the money laundering investigations that have Cristina Kirchner and his environment as protagonists.

Without directly mentioning the former president, the federal judge who investigated the case Willows and now the cause of notebooks, He said that with the repentant law, he had "little faith," but he said: "I was wrong and a lot because it served". However, he admitted that the law of the repentant in Argentina had some flaws, because, according to his understanding and contrary to what happened with the research on Lava Jato in Brazil, the prosecutor has less "tools of negotiation" with the repentant and "weakens" since it can not define the freedom or penalties of the accused. In contrast, in Brazil, the case is not directly the subject of an oral hearing. The figure of the penitent therefore has more weight.

For his part, Bonadio recalled in his presentation that, in the case of Los Sauces, he had been able to use the penal code to "desempowerment of those who have investigated companies" and warned that, to investigate money laundering, his court had contacted a special group of US prosecutors to exchange information and advance the development of several cases.

On the other hand, the judge admitted that "in a country where 30% of the informal economy is present It is difficult to investigate the money path because the level of banking is low."Although he stressed that it was not a problem of the judiciary" that is overcome by this reality. "

With regard to the project of extinguishing domination imposed by decree to the government and Senate initiatives, Bonadio said that "you can order the total confiscation that in practice is the domain extinction" He admitted, however, that in the event that there are leaders, this measure would become more complex to implement.
