Career
After working for the National Bank from 1996 to 2002, during which time he also became involved in the narcotics trade, he became a successful financier in 2006. He co-owns two firms, Odín Concept SRL, a pharmaceutical house, in which his partner is Pablo Héctor Quaranta, and C&C Building, a construction company, in which his partner is Martín Eduardo Lanatta. In May 2008, Pérez Corradi became president of Elaboradora de Productos Biológicos S.A., while his “right-hand man,” Jorge Cabrera, became director of the firm.Drug trafficking
He is said to have trafficked in illegal narcotics, including ephedrine. One source describes him as a member of a “cartel” that dealt in “precursor chemicals”; another identifies him as a member of a “drug mafia.” It has been reported that he got rich selling ephedrine to Mexicans, and that his suppliers were named Alfredo Abrahams and Josué Fucks (sic). In recent years, Perez Corradi's name has been raised in connection with many drug trafficking cases. A few months after the so-called General Rodriguez triple murder (see below) in August 2008, he was one of several high-profile figures investigated for ephedrine trafficking and illegal trade in medicines that were the basis for ephedrine and crystal meth. In August 2009, ''La Nación'' reported that the Federal Court of San Isidro had ordered the extradition of Pérez Corradi to the United States. This order was a response to an order of capture issued by a court in the state of Maine, which accused Pérez Corradi of having sent a parcel into the U.S. containing 80 oxycodone tablets, and which had led to the detention of Pérez Corradi on October 22, 2008. A request for his release was rejected in September 2010. In January 2011, the ''Buenos Aires Clarin'' reported that the Argentinian Supreme Court had approved the extradition of Pérez Corradi to the United States on charges of trafficking in oxycodone, thus upholding the decision of the San Isidro court.Money laundering
Pérez Corradi, according to one source, laundered money through theTriple murder
On August 7, 2008, Sebastián Forza, Damian Ferron, and Leopoldo Bina were murdered in a house in the Quilmes neighborhood of Buenos Aires. Their bodies were stored in a freezer and eventually thrown in a ditch in another part of the city, where they were found on August 13. The men were killed, according to one source, “in perfect mafia style,” and all three of them had ties to the pharmaceutical business. Peréz Corradi was reportedly in Cancún at the time of the triple murder. On March 20, 2012, the Argentinian Ministry of Justice issued a warrant for Pérez Corradi in connection with the triple murder, of which he is believed to be the mastermind. During the succeeding months, several raids were conducted in various places but Pérez Corradi was not found. He remains a fugitive, and is named by Interpol as one of the world's most wanted fugitives. On December 20, 2012, two pairs of brothers, Martin and Cristian Lanatta and Victor and Marcelo Schillaci, were convicted of participation in the crime and sentenced to life in prison. The motive, according to the court, was that Forza, Ferron, and Bina's efforts to become involved in drug trafficking had threatened the narcotics trade of Pérez Corradi and his business partner Martin Lanatta. The triple murder is the subject of a book, ''La Ejecución: La historia secreta del triple crimen que desnudó la conexión con la mafia de los medicamentos y la recaudación de la campaña K'' (''The Execution: The Secret History of the Triple Murder that Laid Bare the Connection with the Pharmaceutical Mafia and the K Campaign Fund''). The book was written by Emilia Delfino and Rodrigo Alegre and published byPersonal life
