Federico Elaskar
Federico Elaskar is an Argentinian businessman who has been implicated in a web of financial-corruption scandals, known as Lázarogate, surrounding the administrations of that nation's last president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and of her late husband and predecessor, Nestor Kirchner, and centering on the Kirchernite businessman Lázaro Báez. By 2010, when he was in his mid-20s, Elaskar had already been a principal in several international firms and had accumulated considerable personal wealth. In an April 2013 television interview, he described at length his role in an international scheme to launder money for Báez and other leading figures in the Kirchner circle. After the interview, however, he claimed that he had been lying. One report stated that Elaskar was “perhaps the key piece” in the entire history of corruption involving persons connected to the Kirchner government. In 2020, Federico Elaskar said that the head of the Financial Information Unit during the go ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Route Of The K-Money
The Route of the K-Money ( es, La ruta del dinero K; "K" stands for "''Kirchnerism''") was a 2013 political scandal in Argentina. It began with reports on the ''Periodismo para todos'' television program on the results of its investigation, led by journalist Jorge Lanata. Embezzlement and an associated money trail involved Argentine presidents Néstor Kirchner, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and their alleged partner, businessman Lázaro Báez. The investigation concluded that Báez diverted money intended for public infrastructure to tax havens. The scandal led to an official investigation. In April 2016 Lázaro Baez was arrested for corruption charges and jailed in the Ezeiza Federal Prison Complex awaiting trial. In mid-2020 he was transferred to house arrest as the proceedings were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021 he was sentenced to 12 years in prison for money laundering. In December 2022, he was sentenced to six years in prison for an unlawful business ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Leonardo Fariña
Jorge Leonardo Fariña (born 5 October 1986) is an Argentine who was implicated in the political scandal known as "the K money trail" involving entrepreneur Lázaro Báez. Until Fariña became the target of a probe into money laundering in 2013, he was known to the Argentine public chiefly as the husband of famous model Karina Jelinek, who separated from him after the scandal broke. Because of his high-level involvement in the money manipulations and his marriage to Jelinek, Fariña attracted a great deal of media attention and was identified as the “man most wanted by the V interviewprograms.” The controversy swirling around both his personal and professional life caused ''La Nación'' to state that he was at the center of one of the “scandals of the year.” As of mid 2014, Fariña is in prison awaiting trial. Early life and education Fariña grew up in a working-class neighborhood in La Plata. He attended the to obtain the degree of accountant, however he dropped ou ...

Argentine Businesspeople
Argentines (mistakenly translated Argentineans in the past; in Spanish (masculine) or (feminine)) are people identified with the country of Argentina. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Argentines, several (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being ''Argentine''. Argentina is a multiethnic and multilingual society, home to people of various ethnic, religious, and national origins, with the majority of the population made up of Old World immigrants and their descendants. As a result, Argentines do not equate their nationality with ethnicity, but with citizenship and allegiance to Argentina. Aside from the indigenous population, nearly all Argentines or their ancestors immigrated within the past five centuries. Among countries in the world that have received the most immigrants in modern history, Argentina, with 6.6 million, ranks second to the United States (27 million), and ahead of other immigr ...

Iliana Calabro
''Iliana'' is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae. It was described in 1937 by Ernest Layton Bell, with ''Iliana romulus'' as type species. The genus has a neotropical distribution. Distribution Species mainly occur in Peru, Brazil and Bolivia, with one species, ''Iliana remus'', additionally known from French Guiana. Taxonomy Placement within the Hesperiidae The placement of ''Iliana'' within the Hesperiidae is not fully resolved. It has traditionally been placed within the Pyrgini, but Warren et al. (2008, 2009) place it in Carcharodini, which has been followed by many but not all subsequent publications including the genus. Mielke and Casagrande (2016) argue for its placement to remain in tribe Pyrgini until more in-depth reclassification has taken place. Species At the time the genus was erected, it contained two species, ''Iliana remus'' and ''Iliana romulus'', with the latter assigned as type species. Both species were at the time newly described by Bell fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
