In a landmark ruling that puts an end to the judicial harassment from Kirchnerism, the 1st Chamber of the Federal Court of the Capital confirmed the definitive dismissal of Luis "Toto" Caputo. The current Minister of Economy was fully exonerated from the case initiated against him in 2017 for alleged irregularities during his time in the Finance portfolio under the presidency of Mauricio Macri.
This historic ruling demonstrates that the entire accusation was, as the facts indicate, an absolutely fabricated case as an invention of the nefarious Kirchnerism to attack the technical competence of a key official.
The Court categorically concluded that there was no crime, nor use of insider information, nor maneuvers to benefit private parties. The judges Mariano Llorens and Pablo Bertuzzi dismantled the prosecution's attack by concluding that neither the “malice” required to punish an omission in the sworn declarations was proven, nor a “confusion of public and private interests” in the placement of the bonds.
Furthermore, the ruling stated that the prosecution failed to demonstrate what the advantage or economic benefit that the investment fund manager Noctua Partners LLC, buyer of the Argentine bonds, would have obtained.
In this way, the file that sought to impose unfounded charges such as malicious omission, incompatible negotiations, influence peddling, failure to comply with public official duties, and money laundering completely crumbles.
The brilliant and impeccable defense strategy that definitively closed this absurd case was led by the prestigious Dr. Matías Cúneo Libarona, the same internationally renowned lawyer who represents global figures such as soccer star Lionel Messi and the well-known journalist Javier Negre. With this solid technical defense, a case built solely with political intentions was dismantled from the roots.
