This story, or comic would have to be said, begins and ends in the same room of a first-class hotel: the Hilton in Puerto Madero.
Darín might as well use it and repeat his very successful Nine Queens, which was filmed there 20 years ago.
Only
now in the key of a bizarre scam, expanded to the field of political work.
And with a cast that is not exactly first class. On the one hand, an undersecretary of Foreign Minister Solá, Fernando Asencio, who was
a massista leader in La Matanza
and today carries the spectacular position of
extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador
. On the other, Martín Di Santo, another
leader of that place
, who with his wife and
a gang of hustlers
set out to blackmail Asencio with an alleged
file from the AFI
, the Federal Investigative Agency, something that does not need an explanation. And a third actor: Luis María Kreckler, a veteran career ambassador, who
is looking to not be retired
and appeared in the bag,
without anyone knowing how he got in.
There are plenty of details for the eventual writer to entertain. For example, that the extortionist Di Santo demanded from the extorted Asencio not only money but
money and a good life: an international flight post
, within the United Nations development program (UNDP), managed by the Foreign Ministry and few know.
To make it better understood: UNDP receives money from countries in exchange for services and advice and hires staff without being tied to the requirements that public agencies must meet.
And
pay in dollars
.
Argentina
is one of those that uses it the most
: there are 23 projects in execution for US $ 766 million.
A classic:
these agreements are used to pay salaries
.
They cover up the state's hiring of the
most expensive gnocchi
.
Part of this plot, which Daniel Santoro told in Clarín, says that a woman, who presents herself with the false surname of Gómez Castañón and
claims to be Máximo Kirchner's secretary
, telephones Asencio.
There is one week left until the closing of lists and invites you to discuss candidacies for the PASO.
Gómez Castañón, actually Victoria González, appears at the Hilton not with Máximo but with Di Santo, with whom she lives in the exclusive San Isidro Labrador de Tigre neighborhood. And it goes from candidacies to folders: they show Asencio
photos of his children and his wife and bills and bank accounts
. All with overprinted AFI stamps. Asencio says that Gómez Castañón / González promises him that if he gives him the contracts he asks for, he will send the file to the freezer and Máximo will support him as a candidate in La Matanza.
There is another of the band, Claudio Petruzzi, who then squeezes Asencio in his office.
Asencio tells Solá and they make the complaint
, which falls on the prosecutor Rívolo. They also speak with Juan Martín Mena, who is the second of Justice and was of the AFI. Rivolo orders the
recording and taking of police officers
to a new meeting at the Hilton with the extortionists.
Asencio does what they ask: it
is wired and miked
.
But nervously, he forgets the key word he must say in order for the police to intervene.
In the end, the police intervene and arrest the gang
.
At that moment Kreckler appears,
dressed as if he were going to Buckingham Palace
and he believes that Máximo is waiting for him, because this is what González announced, when in fact a judicial and police hubbub is waiting for him.
It goes poster of The End, although
these stories / comics of folder and gigs are never ending.
