Overview

  • LA NACION reported that a US$200,000 transfer tied to a business structure linked to Federico “Fred” Machado was directed to José Luis Espert, a claim echoed by a public accusation from Juan Grabois.
  • Espert rejected receiving any money in an emotional radio interview, saying he is deeply hurt by the allegations and describing the personal impact on his family.
  • He acknowledged traveling more than 17 times on Machado’s airplane while maintaining that he is innocent of illicit financing.
  • Grabois escalated the confrontation on X by calling Espert a coward and urging him to stop clinging to his congressional seat.
  • Government ministers publicly requested explanations from Espert as scrutiny intensified in a climate charged by recent violent crime cases with alleged narcotrafficking links.
