The last name Kovalivker appears in two opposite scenarios of Argentine politics. While justice investigates the family as a central gear of an alleged scheme of coimas in the purchase and distribution of medicines for people with disabilities, in the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires progress was made with a project to declare Eduardo Kovalivkerpatriarch of the clan and founder of the drugstore Argentine Swiss, as Outstanding personality of culture.
The initiative had been presented by the legislator of the PRO Patricia Inés Glizeclose to the Minister of Security Patricia Bullrich. The project put the focus on the literary and poetic trajectory of the businessman, but his treatment coincided with the worst media moment of his life. The outbreak of the revelations of Diego Spagnuolo, Made mid -August, he pointed against Argentine Swiss drugstore as an intermediary in the payment of bribes. The filtered audios mentioned Karina Milei and Eduardo “Lule” Menem, Although the latter flatly rejected the accusations and defined them as a “gross political operation.”
Judicial investigation accelerated under the orbit of the federal judge Sebastián Casanello, who ordered raids in properties linked to Jonathan and Emmanuel Kovalivkerchildren of the founder of the company. The reaction of the entrepreneurs left forceful footprints: Emmanuel tried to flee with 266 thousand dollars and 7 million pesos, while Jonathan left his home emptying the safe; Moments before the arrival of the researchers, who only found the loose elastic bands that wrapped the bills of bills. Ariel de Vincentis, Chief of Security of Nordelta, was prosecuted for “disobedience, hindrance of functional act and cover -up” when delaying the entry of the city police in the operation carried out within the exclusive closed neighborhood.
Far from the judicial plot, the Buenos Aires Legislature approved in parliamentary work the treatment of the project that promoted Glize at the end of May of this year. At the last moment of the day, the Buenos Aires Parliament gave up the treatment and filed the file that proposed to highlight the writer. In the brief and words of the legislator herself, the proposal argued that the majority chemical and shareholder of Argentina Swiss, “is very active in the literary field, participating in talks and workshops, and sharing their experience with new generations of writers and readers.”
Glize, who began military in 2012 by the hand of Patricia Bullrich, worked on her team of advisors during the management of Mauricio Macri and in 2017 she held a position in the Border Secretariat. He later integrated the presidential campaign of the current official and coordinates the technical teams that accompany her.
The cross between cultural recognition and judicial advancement about the Kovalivker exposes an awkward paradox. On the one hand, justice trying to unravel an alleged bribes that splashes the presidential circle itself and, on the other, the legislative field that tries to pay tribute to the poetic facet of the businessman in the epicenter of the storm.
