ARGENTINA SENTENCES FORMER OFFICIALS OVER PURCHASE OF SCRAPPED TRAINS

On 6 April, OCCRP reported that a court in Buenos Aires has found 2 former high-ranking officials guilty of illicit enrichment and other crimes involving the purchase of trains from Spain and Portugal.  It is said that former Secretary of Transportation Ricardo Jaime and former Minister of Federal planning Julio de Vido had allowed Argentine railway company Belgrano Cargas to buy scrapped trains that were not even compatible with the country’s railway network, at a cost of $34 million.

Any modest contributions for my time and ongoing expenses are welcomed!  I have a page where you can do so, and where one-off contributions start as low as $3, at https://www.buymea3coffee.com/KoIvM842y
