BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – The legal battles of Argentine Vice President Amado Boudou grewmore complicated on Monday when a federal prosecutor asked a judgeto open an illegal enrichment probe. Also named were Boudou's girlfriend Agustina Kampfer, his longtimefriend and business partner Jose Maria Nunez Carmona, and anotherbusinessman, Alejandro Vandenbroele, who allegedly served asBoudou's proxy in a series of business deals. Prosecutor Jorge Di Lello also asked judge Ariel Lijo toinvestigate 10 businesses, including The Old Fund, a holdingcompany reportedly linked to Boudou. The Old Fund was able to bringa struggling printing company out of bankruptcy and win a contractto print Argentina's currency with the help of Boudou and other topgovernment officials. Lijo must now decide whether to formally open the illegalenrichment probe and eventually whether to bring charges that couldresult in as much as six years in prison and a lifetime ban frompublic office, Di Lello's secretary, Juliana Marquez, told TheAssociated Press.
"The prosecutor has found sufficient elements to justifyinvestigating the vice president," Marquez said. "The judge nowneeds to initiate the investigation ... examining the declaredwealth of the functionary and the others named, along with thesworn declarations of the companies, in search of anyincongruencies." In Argentina, taxpayers must formally declare not only theirdeclared income, but also their total wealth. The government thencompares the totals along with declarations from the money'ssources, and can bring tax evasion charges when the totals don'tmatch. Boudou already faces potential charges of influence-trafficking andother acts incompatible with public office, in a case Judge Lijoinherited from Judge Daniel Rafecas.
Rafecas agreed to open that probe, and Argentina's attorneygeneral, Esteban Righi, approved that judge's request for a raid onBoudou's apartment that turned up telephone records linking Boudouand Vandenbroele, whom the vice president has denied knowingpersonally. Boudou then formally complained that all three officials managingthe influence-trafficking probe — Rafecas, Righi and federalprosecutor Carlos Rivolo — had been conspiring against himand improperly leaking information to Argentina's opposition media.Rafecas was separated from the case, Righi resigned under pressure,and now Judge Lijo must decide whether to separate Rivolo as well. Sergio Berensztein, director of the independent Poliarquiaconsulting firm in Buenos Aires, said the government's recenttakeover of the YPF oil company had diverted attention from theBoudou case, but the new action pulls it back into public view. He said it also raises questions about what President CristinaFernandez knew and when. Some of the allegations involve actionsBoudou allegedly took starting when he was a mid-level governmentofficial.
She later promoted him to be her economy minister andthen chose him to be her vice president in her second term. "The question is whether Cristina knew about all this," Berenszteinsaid. If not, if it was an intelligence failure involving peoplearound her, and she knew about that, than the president iscomplicit.".
