They detect more than $ 41 million of entrepreneurs abroad

A group of businessmen who confessed to bribing Kirchnerism to stay with

public works

more than US $ 41 million of bank accounts abroad, judicial sources said
THE NATION. This number could even increase since it does not include dozens of accounts suspected of channeling illicit money, the balance of which is currently unknown.

The data, which are part of the file that the judge orders

Claudio Bonadio

, include the badets of businessmen Carlos Wagner (Esuco), Juan Carlos de Goycoechea (Isolux), Jorge Neira (Electroengineering), Claudio Glazman (Latin American Investment Company), Enrique Pescarmona (Impsa), Aldo Roggio ( Roggio Hermanos) and Héctor Zabaleta (Techint)

The Financial Information Unit (FIU), which filed the data the day before yesterday in the file known as

the notebooks of the bribes

, argues that businessmen were enriched by the bidding of public contracts, in collusion with former employees bribed.

De Goycoechea, leader of the Spanish group Isolux, was the first entrepreneur to repent in his notebooks. He held bank accounts in Switzerland and Liechtenstein for US $ 14 million, according to judicial sources. De Goycoechea and a parent appear as the owners of these accounts and another figure on behalf of an offshore company based in the British Virgin Islands. "My estate is of legal origin, related to more than 30 years of professional work, and is fully declared before the AFIP (including accounts abroad), after paying all taxes ", replied De Goycoechea before the consultation.

Wagner is another businessman with funds abroad, sued as one of the organizers of the illicit badociation led by Cristina Kirchner. The employer was responsible for digitizing public works among the companies closest to Kirchner.

Wagner and his entourage were clients of 11 foreign banks, with total badets of $ 21 million, judicial sources said. The majority of accounts are registered in Swiss banks in the name of trusts (whose final beneficiary is Wagner) located in tax havens. But badets have also been detected in the United States and Panama, which the FIU has reported to the courts.

"All local and foreign bank accounts are disclosed in the corresponding tax return and do not operate on the orders of Judge Bonadio," Wagner's office said. The FIU has reinforced the demand the day before yesterday so that all these accounts are also frozen by the courts.

The only funds related to the illegal activities of the bribebooks that had been detected so far were funds related to Daniel Muñoz, former private secretary of Kirchner. If, ultimately, we verify that businessmen end up with illicit money, the total amount of money recovered could exceed $ 100 million.

The Court has not yet determined whether these funds abroad from the businessmen had been laundered on the last capital statement or whether they had already been declared by the employers before l & # 39; AFIP.

More entrepreneurs

Neira, director of Electroingeniería, one of the most favored companies in Kirchner, is another entrepreneur with badets abroad. They found accounts in Switzerland, Luxembourg and Panama (without detailing the balance), all in the name of a company related to his family, indicated judicial sources.
