The former vicepresident of Argentina has been condemned to six years of jail for corruption. The case was abruptly solved with the finding of the diary of the messenger the network employed (pic) and the confession of the people mentioned in it. Presidents Nestor Kirchner and her widow headed the operation. Argentina had been systematically pillaged by a criminal gang that even ordered the secret service to kill the Attorney General while he was under heavy police "protection". The jailing of former rulers is a standard procedure in Argentina to "cure" crimes and corruption, a magical ritual that purifies the country and let's it start anew virginal and immaculate. Maybe this time it will work, although the current President Macri - the head of a vast family business (see Forbes's list of Argentine billionaires), has been linked to the 'Ndrangheta or whatever they call themselves. Since the leak of the Panama accounts, all this has been public knowledge.
