Cositorto Claims He Gave $32,500 to Santilli’s 2021 Campaign

The imprisoned Generación Zoe leader makes an uncorroborated allegation that Santilli has publicly denied.

Overview

  • Speaking from Unit No. 6 prison in Goya on Radio Splendid, Leonardo Cositorto said he contributed $32,500 to Diego Santilli’s 2021 bid.
  • Cositorto described meeting via Gabriel González and Martiniano Molina and alleged a lunch with Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, Cristian Ritondo, Federico Pinedo and Santilli, a narrative not supported by independent evidence in the reports.
  • He also asserted that he provided financial support to Javier Milei’s 2023 campaign.
  • Santilli rejected any link in 2022, stating he does not know Cositorto and has never had a relationship with him, while he now runs as a La Libertad Avanza candidate.
  • Cositorto is serving a 12-year sentence for running Generación Zoe’s Ponzi-like scheme, with a ruling confirming fraud against 118 victims and losses of ARS 776,834,153.
