After months of investigation, authorities arrested ex members of the Kirchner administration and businesspeople, under a legal case that could become an Argentine Lava Jato. Some of the closest collaborators during the years of the administration of Nestor Kirchner and of his exminister of Planning, Julio De Vido, have been brought before the courts, accused of being part of an illegal association, dedicated, at least over 10 years, to collect bags full of money handed over by contractors of public works all over Buenos Aires.
