Franco Agustín Bindi has once again taken center stage in Argentine politics. His story links Gerardo Zamora with Venezuela, the AFA with Operation PUF, and all of this lands today in the scandal rocking the heart of Milei's government.
Bindi was an advisor to Deputy Leopoldo Moreau and always moved with ease in the margins where intelligence, courts, and politics intersect. One of the most sensitive and recent chapters of his story is his connection with Venezuela: PDVSA, SEBIN, and the liberation of Nahuel Gallo. According to what Total News Agency was able to find out, Bindi managed to arouse the curiosity of some agencies in the U.S. and Israel. At the time, the Ministry of Security, represented by lawyer Fernando Soto while Patricia Bullrich was minister, filed a legal document that classified him as an agent of foreign governments and attributed conduct close to treason against the homeland.
In parallel, Bindi built a small but influential media group. In June 2014, through decree 1309/2014 of the Santiago del Estero State Prosecutor's Office (then under the governorship of Claudia Abdala de Zamora, the governor's wife), Bindi's law firm – and also his sister, his father, and his then-partner Giselle Robles – was hired to represent the province in all cases being processed in the City of Buenos Aires. This time, the spotlight is on his deep ties with the governor of Santiago del Estero, Gerardo Zamora, his participation in Operation PUF, his close ties with Venezuela (including SEBIN and PDVSA), and his role in the recent release of the gendarme Nahuel Gallo, where the Argentine Football Association (AFA) appeared publicly, but the real contacts are said to have passed through him.
