By Jorge Lanata Sixty-five million in two months said Federico Elaskar facing camera Journalism for everyone. And few companies created? -Thalassotherapy Forty, forty-five. The air was sponge and the scene was surrounded by people quietly: Nicholas Wiñzki, Ricardo Ravanelli -my executive-producer, Patricio Carballes-my lawyer, Carlo Torre cameras- -chief of the Tano -camarografo- and half an hour later, Matthew Molinari, son of another key characters is history. That evening in Puerto Madero, meters Boudou departments and Cristina, and exactly in front of the illegal financial The Rosadita, I thought Nestor Kirchner Lazarus and were partners, but Nestor had minoría.Con time I presume that was the backwards. Lazarus was Nestor and was also Cristina; sixty five million were not part of an exception but a pipeline: a pipeline of money Elaskar and Fariña, personal problems and missing money, decided to exhibit. The forty companies soon were discovered diligently for the fiscal Campagnoli, and there were many more. Before falling into disgrace judicial stage then exceeded, the prosecutor said Saavedra 148 companies managed by Aldyne, we assumed with journalist Mariel Fitzpatrick as the parent company in the Seychelles. On 21 and 22 January 2013, the president unexpectedly traveled to Victoria, the capital of the islands, for thirteen hours. It was a Monday, and happened on that day changes occurred in the mother board. The course of history connects the dots with the global performance of the vulture funds against default: determined to get their money back, NML and others devoted to seize Argentine assets: the money trail K already published in journals world and had initiated legal routes in Switzerland, Uruguay, and slow meandering in the courts of Argentina, presided by Judge Sebastian Tortuga Casanello. It happened that NML obtained a judicial authorization to conduct discovery prior to prosecution inciada against 123 companies in Nevada allegedly linked to Lazaro Baez, to determine to whom they belong, what their officials are, what assets they have and how they were acquired. The integrated 148 123 companies identified by Campagnoli, and also the route ended in Seychelles. NML Ferembach argued before the judge that the objective of the route was washed $ 65 million, which Elaskar reported and then denied. When the Nevada judge Patricia Cam Ferembach quoted Amunategui, the study creator of companies in Panama and Seychelles Mossak Fonseca, he received an order to declare secret and protect data. NML it endorsed: no public extortion would have been helpful. It was then that we decided to introduce the cause invoking Article 1782 of the US Code, if an individual in another country may be subject to a lawsuit and you would use to defend count information in a court case in the United States, You can count on it. It was our case shortly after the first program broadcast the money trail K, Lazarus publicly and privately threatened us with legal action to initiate us. To defend ourselves, we need to prove that this path is the path washing. A private email I received yesterday by signing our advocate with the court of Nevada, Marc Randazza, sums up the spirit of this fight: It was a hard fought battle and we are very proud to announce that the motion of Mr. Lanata to intervene has been guaranteed. This is a victory for the First Amendment and are proud to be part of such a case, says Randazza before signing. NML CAPITAL LTD, THE PLAINTIFF VS ARGENTINA REPUBLIC, DEFENDANT NRO Case 2: 14-cv-492-RFB-VCF In the District Court of Nevada. The ruling cited in the background: In 2001, the Argentina Republic suffered a crisis of sovereign depression and cessation of payments (sovereign default) .The majority of Argentine bondholders voluntarily restructured their investments, and suffered a loss of 70%. However, a bondholder refused: NML Capital. At the beginning of 2003, NML collection began eleven actions against Argentina in the Southern District of New York. NML argued that debt sum which 1,700 million dollars was paid in full. The Court accepted. To date Argentina has not complied with the judgment of NML. This has caused NML has traveled the globe looking for properties belonging to Argentina that can seize to run your opinions. This search brought NML here to Nevada. Here, NML has reported a number of subpoenas to third shell companies. The purpose is to locate billions of pesos that were allegedly embezzled from the state and washed several politicians and their confidants. Besides having gone through the experience of depression and a crisis of sovereign cessation of payments, Argentina has been plagued by allegations of political corruption. Former President Nestor Kirchner and his wife, current President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, allegedly gave state-controlled projects to several nearby politicians. The business dealings of two politicians close to Kirchner are relevant here: Lazaro Baez and Christopher Lee. In August 2014, NML showed reasonable to believe that Baez washed embezzled funds to the State through Nevada suspicion. Pages written later says: The application of Jorge Lanata and the Center for Investigative Journalism in the Americas collectively Lanata presents two issues: whether under rule 24 Lanata has the right to intervene to have access to judicial proceedings, and if under rule 26 the Court should modify their protection orders and allow their actions to be distributed to the public. Lanata has the right to intervene: where, as here, the proceedings are reserved, it is presumed that any citizen has the right to intervene, since any confidentiality order generated a controversy with the public interest in open access (see Kamakama vs City & County of Honolulu) and Jeshup V Luther. To rebut the strong presumption in favor of access, the parties must provide expressible facts showing that the intervention unduly delay or prejudice the adjudication of the rights of the original parties. In this case, NML and Mrs. Amunategui fail to rebut this presumption. Both argue that the continuation of the reservation does not prevent Lanata continue their investigation into the affairs of Kirchner and Baez. This argument is misplaced. The Court is not concerned if Lanata can continue his research on business between Kirchner and Baez. The issue is the right of citizens to keep a careful eye on the operation of this Court (Nixon 435 US at 598). The Court was not persuaded that can not be trusted to Lanata dealing with confidential information obtained criterion. The Court is concerned about the privacy of Mrs. Amunategui, but impute bad faith and attack the reliability of Lanata however will not assure Mrs. Amunategui protecting your right to privacy. The court therefore grants the request of third party Lanata with permission of the court. And it allows Lanata publicly disclose the records. To do this, Lanata should provide convincing arguments according to which the sealed information should be disclosed. In conversation with counsel for the parties, the judge Ferembach noted that when a party seeks a protective order and the other party does not object, the Court simply guaranteed. Anyway, to provide documentation under seal in court, the parties risk being part of a document becomes public record. While the parties are represented adequately, the people he is almost never. As a judge, said Ferembach makes every effort to represent the people, because the Court belongs to the people. There is a right of access to the public and the media. The court records belong to the public, and all information should be as public as possible. They who attended the meeting quoted Judge James Madison in Federal Writings: If angels were to govern men, not the internal or external control of the government would be necessary. This ruling puts a wedge between two extortion: the vultures receivable whatever, and defend government assets result of money laundering are presumed. The people will know when it is ~~~~
