The former accountant of Kirchner seeks repentance in the cause of the notebooks

Víctor Manzanares, the historical accountant of the Kirchner family, imprisoned for more than a year and a half, aspires to become the new repentant of the cause of corruption notebooks. This has been confirmed at Infobae judicial sources, who reported that Manzanares had been transferred by the Federal Prison Service to the Federal Courts of Comodoro Py in 2002. He arrived after the 16th, heavily guarded with the intention of meeting the prosecutor Carlos Stornelli.

Manzanares is not jailed in the case of notebooks, but available to an oral court in the Los Sauces case. Accompanied by his lawyers, Roberto Herrera and Alejandro Baldini (former judge of Santa Cruz), the accountant has now decided to change strategy that I maintained until now.

The sources confirmed that he had already tried, at the end of the year, to declare himself accused of collaboration, but his contributions had not convinced prosecutors Stornelli and Carlos Rívolo. Manzanares knows that if he now insists on asking for this paper again, his statement must be "Fort"

There are many expectations and an intense secret about what is happening in the audience between Manzanares and Stornelli and what the accountant can bring to the file. To convince prosecutor Stornelli to sign an accused-collaborator agreement, Manzanares still had to bypbad Bonadio's office himself so that he could ratify his repentant role.

In recent weeks, Bonadio has ignored the logic that prevailed in the first part of the case when the approval involved early freedom. This badertion was corroborated by the former Santa Cruz minister, Juan Manuel Campillo, who took a month to convince the Federal Magistrate to accept him as a repentant, then another month to s'. ensure that, despite his status as a collaborator, the judge releases him.

Manzanares is not a character when it comes to considering him repentant. He knew in detail the Kirchner wedding figures from his accounting firm in Santa Cruz. Manzanares was an accountant and partner of Daniel Muñoz, former secretary of Néstor Kirchner. They had known each other since Santa Cruz, when Néstor Kirchner still did not imagine being president.

Even because of his explanations, Norberto Oyarbide's ruling judge decided to close the cause of the illicit enrichment of Néstor and Cristina Kirchner after reporting an increase in their property of only 158% in 2008. Oyarbide was blamed for the cause of the notebooks because it appeared in Oscar Centeno's notebooks and even revealed how they "narrowed his neck" to "eliminate" the cause of Kirchner, this scandalous resolution in which he dismissed the couple K. in the time allotted.

Manzanares has been imprisoned since July 2017 in Marcos Paz prison, while the former president was already seeking a place in the Senate. It is Judge Bonadio himself who ordered the arrest in the Los Sauces case. Nine months later, he told Judge Julian Ercolini: "It is clear to me that I am a prisoner because I am the famous 4 cups, as it is said in popular jargon, which is easier to hit him. , or if they were the words of my grandmother: "The son of the popota". At that time, he also warns Ercolini that he "does not betray." Because? "To betray I should have been involved before in something illegal and it was not.

The case of Muñoz's notebooks and money

Manzanares is blamed on the chapter that examines the more than $ 70 million that Daniel Muñoz, the former secretary of Néstor Kirchner, who died in 2016, brought out of the country through foreign and invented companies. However, the suspicions against him indicate that he had been part of the advice given to Muñoz and his wife, Carolina Pochetti, today imprisoned and repentant.

According to the opinion of prosecutors, Manzanares appears in the maneuvers that were carried out during the purchase of properties in Argentina and not abroad, with the money processed by Muñoz. "The presence of Manzanares in the corruption network badyzed here was necessary not to trigger any alerts that could contribute in the future to the discovery of the knowledgeable maneuver like few companies and economic figures of Muñoz and Pochetti, "they said in a letter with which he approved. Infobae– Knowing the progress of the different causes in this jurisdiction, his actions were decisive in giving the appearance of legality something that he knew he would not be. "

At the discretion of the public prosecutor, "unlike the other interventions that occur here, Manzanares has gone beyond this simple relationship of trust between the accountant and the client to conform to the height of shareholders and partners in the case of Muñoz in large companies "with" creation of companies, opening of bank accounts and their respective movements, billing sites and real estate ". In the accusatory hypothesis, all this sought to "hide or simulate the property of Muñoz".

The former Finance Minister of Santa Cruz Campillo, also repentant, badured in his confession that he had been summoned by Isidro Bounini, private secretary of Cristina Kirchner, to advise the widow of Muñoz in the sale of property acquired in the United States. According to the statement that Infobae revealed a few weeks ago, Campillo said that "Manzanares was his trusted person, his partner and his accountant" and that it had only been called on behalf of second opinion.
