Causa Cuadernos Trial Resumes With Clarens Detailing Cash Deliveries to the Kirchners

The court is reading cooperating testimony that traces alleged bribe deliveries through Daniel Muñoz to locations tied to the Kirchners.

Overview

  • Tribunal Oral Federal 7 reconvened Tuesday to continue the formal reading of the prosecution’s case and cooperating statements.
  • Declarations from arrepentidos placed Cristina Fernández de Kirchner as the alleged head of the collection system and identified Julio De Vido as a central organizer.
  • Ernesto Clarens said he gathered illicit payments from construction firms and transferred the funds to the late presidential secretary Daniel Muñoz.
  • Clarens described handovers at the Hotel Panamericano and at the Kirchners’ residence at Juncal and Uruguay, noting larger sums were delivered at the home and that Muñoz requested €500 bills.
  • He recounted money routed from Aeroparque to El Calafate and funds set aside for Lázaro Báez, as the court manages a case with 86 defendants and 540 alleged episodes, with the reading projected to conclude by December 2.
