May 28th, 2015 - 02:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0surely this sons of a bitch deserve to rot in jail.
but the funny thing here is that YOU and this 4th class newspaper only mention the argentinians.
the fact is that there are 7 arrested and 2 who are facing charges so far.
and 1 of them is from our beloved british overseas territory of cayman islands and the other from trinidad and tobago, another commonwealth country
not a surprise, knowing that all the british overseas territories and that joke of commonwealth countries are basically a nest of criminals.

15, once again the tongue wiggles , but the truth is ignored...
To use a FIFA corruption story and attempt to endorse it on Argentina and/or the government of Cristina Kirchner is not only bad faith; it's to show that no lies are too big as long as it's a matter of bashing CFK.
May 28th, 2015 - 07:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Last time I checked, there was no news of links between CFK and this case. I did read, however, about the links of one of three Argentines implicated with Mauricio Macri.
Although I do not know who may be winner in this contest on how to comment about the story at hand, but I propose three of our more creative posters:
#4 Yankeeboy, who brings about Meth and “indicting” Nestor Kirchner for its manufacturing in Argentina.
#5 ElaineB, who wonders whether CFK's son Maximo would be immune to “prosecution” and his “ties with football.”
#12 Chronic, who proposes an audit of YPF, ANSES, BCRA ETC. IF there is a new government after CFK. Of course, the official publisher of in-context quotes gets an F for misspelling the word “ridicule”--something we have to recognize he is not afraid of!
LOL. Hannibal thinks the US DOJ is great! How transparently obvious. Will he have the same enthuisiasm for them when they are on the trail of Cretina and the rest of K-swine/perronista dogs?

@17 Try not to take it personally, it is a discussion.
May 28th, 2015 - 08:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We were discussing the Barra Brava and their connection to organised crime, in turn connected to money laundering and drugs. Three out of five people implicated for their involvement as sports promoters are Argentine. Given that nothing happens in Argentina without CFK and her goons getting a cut it is a natural conclusion to make.
Fat Max IS connected to the football industry in Argentina. Don't you know that?
Did you ever answer my question about where you get your information to form your opinions. You do not seem very aware from a first-hand perspective.
Poor old PC and his class obsession again.

May 29th, 2015 - 12:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Opinion poll, Clarin, May 25:
Daniel Scioli of FpV leads with 33.1 per cent of intention of vote.
Follows Mauricio Macri of PRO with 32.2 per cent.
Sergio Massa is now trailing at 13.8 per cent.
http://www.clarin.com/politica/elecciones_2015-encuesta_0_1362464147.html
According to a previous poll, Scioli has gained 10 points in two months. Of course, I am aware that opinion polls are just snapshots and that much can change from week to week, let alone month to month until October.
Clarin, March 25:
Macri: 26.4 per cent
Massa: 24.2 per cent
Scioli: 23.1 per cent

It does not look like Argentina is a sinking country as media inside and outside the country would like to make people believe. On the contrary, many Argentines do appreciate the work done by Nestor and Cristina, in spite of relentless attacks and blatant lies published by dominant media outlets.
@21 You talk from a very obscure perspective. The K's dominate the media in Argentina. Why are you not aware of that? The relentless government propaganda is beamed to people in their homes every night.

How can one possibly be aware of the reality that goes on in Argentina from the comforts of Canada? Some think if they read it on the internet.....it must be reality.

Definitely, the above statement is surprising. In previous postings you portrayed yourself as somebody who knows a thing or two about my home country.
It's common knowledge in Argentina that the Clarin Group owns not only a mayor newspaper, but over 300 print media, radios, cable and open air TV, etc., spread over the whole country. The group opposes the CFK government and has attempted to discredit the government by publishing front-page stories that later revealed to be fakes. That is why, when you asked me to back previous statements, I chose a couple of Clarin articles--that newspaper is not under suspicion of fabricating information to benefit the government!
However, “It is foolish to believe opinion polls,” you state.
And I answer yes--it would be. Opinion polls are just snapshots of a reality that is complex and changes from week to week. You need more information than that. Unfortunately, I am not able to expand here on the reasons why the CFK government has done many (good) things for the country and as a result continues to enjoy substantial support in the Argentine population.

Enrique: Once again you are talking rubbish, the TOTAL independent (opposition) media in Argentina controls 20% whilst the government controlled media represents the other 80%. The difference is that the ratings and circulation of the opposition media is far greater. In other words the government controlled press and TV have a smaller slice of the reader/viewer pie (about 12% according to some surveys) whereas the opposition press/TV has the rest.

Totally agree. The opposition media is the dominant discourse.
Again, media must be critical of any--ANY--government, and that is a necessity in democracy. However, such media must act responsibly.
Attempting to discredit a government--be it good or bad--with front-page stories that one week later are shown as total fakes is not good. I would speak against it from whatever side it came. And this, as you well know, is what Clarín does on a regular basis--repeated ad nauseam and amplified by media belonging to the group.
The two more recent examples are Axel Kicilloff YPF wages and the ”secret” U.S. bank account of Máximo Kirchner and Nilda Garré.
