Diego Luciani He began the prosecution’s argument showing great strength and a thorough study of the case. He reveals the existence of a pyramidal illicit associationwhich has had permanence over time, a clear division of roles and which for a long time parasitized all levels of the National and Provincial State, in Santa Cruzfrom 2003 to 2015.
Luciani pointed out that corruption has become endemic, naturalizing the functioning of a structure within the State, organized to extract funds from it regardless of the public works itself. He presented evidence of what he called the “Clean All Plan”, demonstrating actions involving Cristina Fernandez de Kirchnertending to collect every last cent of the money when in December 2015 they had to leave the government.
The allegation emphasizes the role of Lazarus Baezthe one chosen by Nestor Kirchnerwho as cashier of the Santa Cruz Bank became a millionaire in those 12 years having created, a few days before assuming Kirchner the presidency, the flagship company in the tenders, Austral Constructions. It is chilling the way in which they also took over different companies to simulate competition in the tenders, with two dubious deaths in traffic accidents, amid pressures to control them.
It becomes clear during the examination that Baez is Kirchnerbe it Néstor or Cristina, and that the directing of the works and the funds was carried out in processes where legality appeared in all its stages, hiding a colossal fraud to the public treasury along with an exponential growth in assets of intermediaries and final beneficiaries: the Kirchner. Several hearings are missing, but as he argued Diego Lucianithe evidence shouts, at the same time that the principle of innocence of those involved vanishes.
