Miguel Ángel Pichetto

he had moved to Vicente López in the 1970s. He would surely have crossed Juan Domingo Perón during a walk in Gaspar Campos street. The justice leader lived three blocks from the new house that the vice-presidential candidate had bought Pichetto acquired the property in 2017 with funds for the sale of his apartment in Recoleta, brought back from his environment.

The house was valued at $ 10 million in its latest sworn statement, the equivalent of about $ 550,000 in 2017. This acquisition is the main reason for the increase in badets of Pichetto, which has tripled its badets over the past year. The pro-government candidate said badets of nearly $ 15 million in 2017, motivated by other real estate movements in Río Negro, which were able to rebuild
THE NATION between official documents.

"It is a heritage evolution according to my work during my life, first as a lawyer, then in different public offices, everything is in my name," said Pichetto before consulting this newspaper. And he said: "I had a law firm in Viedma [Río Negro]but it has been rented for years ".

The 820 m2 two-storey beige house is overshadowed by other more notable properties surrounding it, but its current market value is close to one million dollars, according to real estate in the area. The property is shared, equally, with his wife. The senator clarified that the move to Vicente Lopez had been solved by the sale of an apartment of nearly 300 m2, located on Juncal street.

The other real estate transaction that changed its badets was the exchange of properties in Río Negro, his home province, for more than $ 4 million. Pichetto delivered a house in the coastal resort of El Cóndor (30 km from Viedma) in exchange for an apartment in the Vista al Rio complex of this provincial capital.

The senator is therefore the owner of the rights of a trust until the delivery of real estate becomes effective during this year, because of the confidence of his environment. "I have never been to the sea house, so we traded with a local shopkeeper who allowed me to keep an apartment overlooking the river, which was not yet notarized" , explained Pichetto. The vice president of Mauricio Macri also reported the presence of two other departments of 90 m2 in the capital, both acquired nearly 20 years ago, and a historic premises for rent in Viedma. He also declared among his badets a Peugeot 308 Active model 2015 and a VW Vento 2.0 model 2009. And bank deposits of more than 2 million dollars. His wife, a housewife, owns a 1997 VW Gol and two Zanella motorcycles.

But, beyond his activity as a lawyer and legislator, Pichetto was also part of a family business. The senator registered Patagonia Factoring SA in September 2007, where he was one of the badociates with his son and businessman Juan Cruz Montoto Guerrero. "It was a family business that never sold cosmetics, we had set up the legal structure to start the business, but we never launched it," said Pichetto. The company, which was finally dissolved in 2015, experienced a symbolic capital move in those years, as shown by the balance sheets it examined.
THE NATION. The company's shareholders acquired on behalf of the company a property located in Carmen de Patagones and a 2007 Toyota Hilux 4×4 truck, which Pichetto and his son are authorized to manage. During the dissolution of the company, in 2015, the badets – they are close to the candidate – were transmitted on behalf of their son.
