José Luis Espet’s black story does not stop writing. Although the president sent him to get off the list as a candidate, the chapters continue to add and appear. Now the magnifying glass poses on who was the agent of the economist’s 2019 campaign, precisely the same in which he “collaborated” Fred Machado and now returned as a boomerang. It is that the man waiting in Viedma to be extradited to the United States was not the only one in space with drug ties. The name of Marcelo Portas Dalmau, Paul’s brother and defendercondemned by smuggling.
In 2021 the Federal Chamber of Cassation confirmed the three -year prison sentence to Pablo Portas Dalmau for the smuggling crimes of millions of dollars and euros in suitcases from Mexico, Ecuador and Europe, which were sent to be washed in Argentina. That prison was in suspense until later was involved in drug trafficking investigation in the known cause “Narcogolf”for which the oral trial is already arrested. The ruling condemned others. “They were part of an illegal association that, in a permanent, orderly manner, and at least during the years 2013 and 2014 they dedicated themselves to international transport (from Argentina to the outside or from abroad to Argentina) in a hidden way to customs controls of thousands of dollars and euros that had illicit origin in order to give it the appearance of legality.”
The silver was transferred in suitcases and clothes of “mules.” “It was created, from it, un illegal circuit of shipping and reception of international currencieswhereby an international movement of money was detected for the sums of 1,524,715 euros and 1,443,030 dollars, ”says the condemnation of cassation.
According to the ruling of cameramen Alejandro Slokar, Carlos Mahiques and Guillermo Yacobucci, it was highlighted that Dalmau Portas had a link with Diego Guastini, “Who was syndicated as the leader of the organization dedicated to international transport in a hidden way to customs controls of various sums of money, prior reception of those amounts of illicit origin in order to give it appearance of legality.” That surname had its moment of fame in the media. It is that the accountant was killed on Monday, October 28, 2019, at the corner of General Paz and Alberdi, in Quilmes.
The Portas Dalmau defender was his brother, Marcelo. Dalmau, historical member of the UCD, He was proxy in the 2019 sister campaign. And these days had reached the media. It is that José Bonacci, who gave Espert Legal Personer in 2019 through his Unite party, said that Marcelo Portas Dalmau, along with the then campaign manager Gonzalo Díaz de Córdoba, wanted to convince him to bleach dirty silver. “They told me that 18 million pesos had to be justified, ”he said. At that time the amount was around 400 thousand dollars.
According to the records published by the journalist Ari Lijalad in El Despepe, Marcelo Portas Dalmau also traveled in the Machado airplanes next to Espert. On May 15 he traveled with the economist to Corrientes. On June 6 to San Fernando. On July 31 Villa María, Córdoba. On May 25 to Sauce Viejo. On July 16 to Rosario. The question that floats is evident: only Machado grabbed Silver Espert?
