Disclaimer & comment rulesThe arrests of the two men by a heavily armed elite squad “in a hideout” possessing a “small arsenal“ with the help of none other than the Mossad yielded little more than a flurry of large headlines in Argentina's diligent media outlets.
Nov 23rd, 2018 - 07:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The ”small arsenal“ in question was a collection of old weapons with little fire power, and the individuals arrested did not have a police record and were not connected to previous incidents.
On another note, another lie that influenced Argentine electors in 2015 has finally been debunked.
Judge Marcelo Martínez De Giorgi has ruled that Máximo Kirchner and Nilda Garré never owned a secret bank account abroad as ”suggested“ by the Clarín newspaper and the Brazilian magazine Veja.
In 2015, both media outlets published front page stories with large headlines stating that Kirchner and Garré ”would“ have an account in the Felton bank in Delaware, opened by a Belize company with deposits worth USD $41 million. Subsequently, a criminal investigation was started.
Three years later, the judge has ruled that ”the facts investigated had not been committed.”
The potential effects of this fake story (and others) on the electors' decision in the 2015 elections in Argentina, however, cannot be undone.
