Casualities do not exist. If Francisco Oneto will know, the lawyer has among his clients two of the most famous names in Argentina, Javier Milei and “Fred” Machado, the entrepreneur arrested for his ties with drug trafficking. Oneto calls himself “lawyer level” and defends both in parallel and in different causes, in addition to having, among his represented, figures such as scaming Leonardo Cositorto or the maximum homicidal rugbier Thomsen. And in addition to having sponsored the new hot grilled of the campaign, the head of the libertarian list in the province, José Luis Espert. Full cardboard.
Let’s look at the case by case. To the president, for example, he represents him in his demands against journalists and opponents such as Fabián Doman and Elisa Carrió, whom the libertarian leader accuses of having treated him as Nazi. He also defended him in the complaints of slander and public intimidation that he faced in the campaign, intervened as an agent in the complaint for illegal espionage against former police officer Ariel Zanchetta and put himself in charge of the legal strategy in the file for the cryptocurrency $ Libra. In that case, Oneto held on his social networks that, “if a president wanted to commit crimes, he would not leave all the fingers stuck.” Curious argument.
Fred “Machado, in turn, Oneto helps him in the file in which he is accused by the United States justice to wash 550 million dollars drug traffickers. Machado remains detained in Neuquén, waiting for extradition, and in the last hours the revelation that he had turned 200 thousand dollars to sister for his 2019 campaign for his 2019 campaign had exploded. That case now urgently made that he should pay less attention to his client, Milei, who will know how to understand until the wave passes.
There are also other customers of doubtful reputation. The “lawyer God” had among his defenders, we said, Leonardo Cositorto in the case of Zoe Generation, where he came to admit in a debate on Twitter Space who had hired him “to defend a scam”, a phrase that made him a trend. He also defended Máximo Thomsen, one of the rugbiers sentenced by the crime of Fernando Báez Sosa in Villa Gesell. And he represented Luciano Mallemaci in the case of the “Chubut pack”, already Daniel Lagosta, condemned by the femicide of Soriano Érica. To maintain the same client profile, in June 2025 he added another strong name: Leopoldo Luque, the doctor charged with the death of Diego Maradona.
How did Oneto get to Milei? In the same way that he approached Espert, through his colleague and friend Diego Spagnuolo, the former Andis director who later jumped to the audios of the 3 percent of Karina Milei’s coimas. Spagnuolo was close to Espert, who introduced him to Milei, and the former Andis director took him to Oneto. That Espert and “Fred” Machado – the candidate and his patron – also share the services of the “lawyer God” probably as part of the influence of influences between unpresentable customers.
Milei has a burning lawyer. And that brings problems instead of solutions.
