@GC. Quite right. Don't I recall that, when she was still in power, there were stories about extra suitcases, holdalls etc being loaded aboard the presidential aircraft? So any actual cash will be outside argieland. But, surely it's time to start seizing all the family assets?

Get her to come up with invoices and proof of ownership of properties if legitimate.There has to be a paper trail or are we talking about lack of paper trail after all this is Latin America.

Cristina stories attract some MP commentators like honey attracts bees.

These prolific writers fail to see any irony in the fact that Macri and accomplices such as judge Claudio Bonadio have, in almost three years, failed to find a single piece of evidence to implicate Cristina Fernandez. And it wasn't for lack of trying, as this latest episode clearly shows.

Oh, but wait. They have now obtained a declaration of Jose Lopez, who has now been imprisoned for over two years, that the famous bags of money he was caught with were, in fact, Cristina's. Well. In his testimony, he said “he believed the money was Cristina's” but never afraid of little details, newspapers such as Clarin and La Nacion have made Lopez affirm the “money was hers.”

And the comedy of errors continues.

Does Mercopress try to find the worse photos they can of CFK or is she actually that horrific looking? No wonder one of her nicknames is Turkey Neck.
