The peace that I had achieved Enrique “Pepe” Albistur during his traditional summer vacation on the coast ended this week. Is that the judge in economic criminal Gustavo Meirovich prosecuted him for wrongful withholding of contributions from his employees of the South Group in 2015. For this reason, in addition, the Justice seized it for 3.5 million pesos.
Alberto Fernández’s personal friend was quick to reflex: he canceled the debt with the treasury and his lawyers appealed the judge’s measure. Meanwhile, he chooses silence. When NOTICIAS asks him about the cause that involves him, he defends himself: “I’m not going to lend myself to this operetta.”
TWO FACES
His judicial situation will undoubtedly be in the negative balance of the balance of Albistur. He was denounced last year by the AFIP and, despite the fact that he sought dismissal, the case is progressing steadily.
However, during the administration of Alberto Fernández, former Media Secretary K is not doing badly at all. While his wife, the deputy Victoria Tolosa Pazgain political influence, their children John Ignatius and Francis they had a significant increase in official advertising in the public signage company. According to what Jorge Lanata denounced months ago, the companies Wall Street and Al Sur Group they had an increase of 36% of the state guideline, in the midst of a general adjustment of 40%. The Albistur, one of the few beneficiaries.
The story of “Pepe” and the pattern accumulates many chapters. But one of the biggest ones happened when he was sitting on the other side of the counter, as media secretary. Nestor and Christina Albistur he was the architect of official discrimination that turned into harassment: during the 12 years of Kirchnerism, this magazine did not receive a single peso of publicity from the Government. “With NEWS I was wrong. It was a mistake that I participated in and I take responsibility for ”, he would take responsibility for him in 2018, during a report.
Now, Albistur He trusts that the Justice will review his situation, although the prosecution for not having fulfilled his tax obligations has already left him in an uncomfortable place. When Congress debated the wealth tax, many businessmen protested, but he defended it: “Those who don’t want to pay disgust me,” he said. At that time, Albistur It also presented the documentary “Vicentin, from a great company to a great scam”, denouncing the millionaire mismanagement of the Santa Fe company.
A rare moment for “Pepe”. It will not be easy for him to sustain his nac & pop vision of the country while simultaneously being investigated for defrauding his own employees.
