The Oral Court No. 7 advanced this Thursday with the reading of the request for elevation to trial of the file based on the writings of Oscar Centeno with the accusation of the Financial Information Unit (UIF), which acts as a complainant in the case known as "La Camarita". The anti-money laundering unit, led by Paul Starcs, stated during the eleventh hearing of the trial, presided over by judges Enrique Mendez Signori, Fernando Canero, and German Castellique, that the former President Cristina Kirchner would have received 175 illegal payments for a total of 171,224,710 pesos and 613,000 dollars. According to the UIF's presentation, one of the companies with commercial ties to then-mandate made 40 illicit cash deliveries that exceeded 85 million pesos. For the UIF, there was a "spurious agreement" between officials and businessmen that allowed for years to sustain a system of returns linked to public works and service contracts. During the reading, which lasted nearly five hours, a mechanism was described that relied on resolutions signed by then-head of the National Directorate of Viality, Nelson Periotti. According to the request for elevation to trial, that official made 40 payments for 85,493,691 pesos between 2011 and 2013.
