    “In the corruption notebooks case, Cristina Kirchner is accused of having received tens of millions of dollars in bribes.”

    The above statement is incorrect. Cristina Kirchner is not named in the notebooks (of which the originals were never made public -- only photocopies of it).

    What is true is that former Kichner government officials and businessmen who were named in the photocopies were called to testify. Some accepted to name Cristina or other targets of the current government and were sent back home. Those who did not were sent to prison.

    However, the whole scheme is now under threat of crumbling as a businessman has denounced an extortion attempt by a man claiming to act in concert with prosecutor Carlos Stornelli.

    So the lynching trio above would avoid ridicule if they gain some insight by reading the article below.

    Get informed instead of ranting about things you know nothing about, imoyaro.

    Prosecutor Carlos Stornelli, who is working on the ”notebooks (actually photocopies) corruption case” has been called to testify as a suspect in an extortion case involving himself, an associate, and Clarin journalist Daniel Santoro.

    This ongoing case could have huge implications for the Macri government, elected on pretenses of fighting corruption.

    I really don't care about your obsession with Macri, Kriminal. I do however care very much about your repeated attempts to infiltrate a functioning democracy to get your hands on public money, a feature of Argentine “viveza criolla.” You say Macri's corrupt? That that's a reason to reinstate the Narcokleptocracy of La Asesina? Well there's always a bright side, at least you won't be able to threaten your neighbors, and who knows, maybe that Paraguayan land you personally occupied will someday be returned to the people you victimized. Another bright side, the area you live in is starting to have a meth problem, and with the Narcokleptocracy, that will most certainly increase, as one of the little mentioned facets of that regime was the flow of meth precursors to the cartels in Mexico. I'm sure you were delighted about what has happened in the states, and probably are about what is happening in the Calgary area,(after all it isn't “your country,” and the victims are for the most part your hated “Anglos.”) Hopefully, you will suffer the effects of that personally,since people who haven't slept in a week do strange things, especially behind the wheel. As always, looking forward to your demise.... ;)
