The chroniclers who went to cover Milei’s trip to the United States swore several times to bounce the artificial lights of the Langham hotel on Leonardo Scatturice’s bald. It seems that the man, hired by the Argentine Side to make Lobby before the US government, moved at ease in the place where Javier Milei was stopping and his entourage.
Scatturice’s last name began to be known in July, after a plane from one of its companies landed in Argentina without the necessary controls of customs. The cameras captured one of their members, Belén Arrieta, disembarking in the country. Since then, Scatturice’s business began to be followed with magnifying glass. This magazine led in one of its tapas the links that linked the lobbist with Daniel Hadad, the powerful businessman who owns the Infobae site.
But Scatturice links go much further. One of its partners is Barry Bennett, strategic advisor of Donald Trump. Another is Soledad Cedro, the CEO of the Argentine delegation of the CPAC, the American Conservative Forum. In fact Cedro was gathered with Milei during the libertarian’s trip to the United States. SCATTURICE appears everywhere in this government.
In fact, those who talked to Scatturice at this time ensure that he himself charges the medal of having been central in this story. I could well say that for that they are paid: in June the SIDE hired one of its companies, Tactic, to make lobby against the United States, for US $ 10,000 per month. In that company he has Barry Bennett, one of Donald Trump’s main lobbists and strategists.
Bennett was at the beginning and the end of this story. In March he traveled to Argentina to meet with Santiago Caputo, meeting with which a postcard remained. The following month, this ground of the US secretary Scott Besent, who held a meeting with Milei and Luis Caputo at a key moment, when the new loan of Argentina with the IMF was negotiating this ground. All versions coincide in pointing out that Bennett’s support was definitive for Besent’s journey.
Scatturice’s partner was also in the CPAC of Paraguay in which Milei spoke days after the defeat in the province of Buenos Aires and returned – according to journalist Maia Jastreblansky in the nation – to meet with the Argentine president in the fifth of Olivos on Thursday 18. That happened right in the previous trip of Milei to the United States. It does not seem a coincidence.
In fact, then the visit of the libertarian, several members of the Government began to dispute the authorship of the management. Scatturice is one, what translated internally means that the credit is carried by Santiago Caputo, its local political partner. Those who speak followed with the advisor swear that this agreement would be something like “a farewell gift.” “That’s, Santiago is outside. He got all this support and silver and ready, he leaves after the choice,” they swear.
