Nov 29th, 2016 - 11:40 pm - Link - Report abuse +2What's a social-environment report anyway?
Nov 30th, 2016 - 12:16 am - Link - Report abuse -1It is a formality. Basically an interview to determine what is the social environment of the person being charged. For instance, if someone commits a robbery, this interview tries to determine if any environmental factors incited the defendant to carry out such an act. Normally certain levels of poverty or being neglected by family and peers could be taken into account by the judge. I guess the first one would never apply to Cristina.

What about Uncle Fester Timmerman?
Looks as though the goods that CFK passed along to her criminal children, to try to make them harder for the government to seize when she is convicted, might be in line for another embargo.
Nov 30th, 2016 - 01:21 pm - Link - Report abuse +4Two prosecutors in another case against CFK have filed motions to have a “preventive embargo” on properties and holdings that the daemon spawn Florencia and Máximo received from their parents.

Nov 30th, 2016 - 02:01 pm - Link - Report abuse -6You're right. The memorandum of understanding with Quatar was denounced yesterday and it appears to contain clauses more typical of a Mafiosi contract than one between countries.
When I lived in Carrasco some years back, it was rumoured that CF was money laundering through a hotel here where it was difficult to ever get a booking but had an amazing turnover !

Nov 30th, 2016 - 04:39 pm - Link - Report abuse +1She definitely used her hotels for money laundering but I don't know about that area. I personally tried booking into one of her hotels on a number of occasions and was always refused as it was 'full'. Eventually an Argentine friend got me a booking there - the last available room. I was the only guest there.
Her scam was to use companies La Campora run, like Aerolineas, to book out and pay for all the rooms but no one actually stayed there.
That said, many hotels are used in the same way.

@ EM/Think
What's so bad about this memorandum then? I couldn't find anything in English.

Nov 30th, 2016 - 08:24 pm - Link - Report abuse -4“I couldn't find anything in Engrish” you say...
Well... I'll suggest you learned some Spanish...or found yourself an Anglophone geographical area of interest...
But you can also choose to relay on MercoPress's posters...
Certified reliable sources like Jack Bauer..., Marti Llazo... or ElaineB...
Your choice ..., lad...
@ Think
Nov 30th, 2016 - 09:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I was asking you, not any of those three.
And I can already see plenty of news from Anglophone areas (and Europe), just by reading the papers. News from the rest of the world not so much.
Besides, even if it was in English I don't know much about investment funds anyway, or what is normal in such agreements. I assume having it set up in a tax haven is not normal though. Which is the part that is like a Mafia contract?
Told you before, lad...

Nov 30th, 2016 - 09:33 pm - Link - Report abuse -1There does not seem to be any reporting about the denunciation of the Quatar MOU in English yet, but there should be something shortly in the Buenos Aires Herald.
I'll post a link as soon as I see one.

I found a clearer article anyway, which said it's forming a joint investment fund with the Qatari QIA and Argentina's public pension fund. So now I think I understand why people are objecting to it being off-shore and administered internationally.

The USA and UK, hand in hand walking towards complete irrelevance and dictatorship. I will be thoroughly enjoying the self-destruction to come in the next 2 to 4 years.

Uhmm... Earth to Idiot? How did you want to stop inflation? By stimulating demand.
Dec 02nd, 2016 - 12:59 pm - Link - Report abuse -1If you want to slow down inflation, you have to kill the economy.
All these years I kept hearing inflation for the sake of growth was no good, now suddenly those same people say no growth for the sake of low inflation is also no good. Who gets you people?
I do, you are must argie-haters.
No problem, but I will enjoy seing your country (the UK) keep making itself a fool on the world stage like in no other time, as it sinks into a populist and xenophobic miasma.
Impoverished argentine nationalists have been talking of the imminent collapse of the UK.... any day now !..... since about 1946.
