Alejandro Paul Vandenbroele has not yet declared as "imputed collaborator" in one of the causes that can complicate the procedural situation of the current prisoner former vice president and former minister of Economy, Amado Boudou. It is the file that investigates why The Old Fund, created by Vandenbroele to buy the former private ticket press Ciccone Calcographic, advised the province of Formosa. Vandenbroele admitted to Clarín that the first strong money that entered the accounts of that company was due to false advice with the province of Formosa, which renegotiated its public debt with the Ministry of Economy of Boudou.

Vandenbroele, in dialogue with Clarín, repeats what he declared before the prosecutor of the case, Jorge Di Lello, as he repeated Judge Ariel Lijo, who approved his agreement to enter the "Witness and Imputed Protection Program". As it was recorded in the minutes of that moment, the magistrate asked Vandenbroele if he declared as "accused collaborator" by his own decision. He answered yes. The sayings on Formosa plus the documentation and information that he gave to the court of Lijo, which was checked even with the collation of calls between Vandenbroele and Formoseños officials transform the statement of the creator of The Old Fund into judicial dynamite: "Yes, the The first job I did for Boudou, always following the orders of José María Núñez Carmona (partner and best friend of the former vice, now imprisoned with him) was the subject of Formosa where we charge a kick ", says Vandenbroele.

Former Vice President Amado Boudou when he was arrested in his department of Puerto Madero.

Was there advice from The Old Fund to the Formosa by Gildo Insfrán?

Do not.

Why then did society collect 6.8 million pesos from the Formosean coffers?

They were a coima.

Do you say that only the contract was signed with the government of that province and The Old Fund to collect bribes and nothing else?

Exact. They were bribes. I charged 200 thousand dollars at that time. The silver was distributed among Boudou, Núñez Carmona and people of the province.

Vandenbroele adds more details to the story. Remember that he went to withdraw the money to a branch of a bank and that he always knew that Formosa does not need The Old Fund to renegotiate its liabilities with the National Government.

According to judicial sources, this work never carried out already had an important probative burden, to which Vandenbroele's revelation was added.

"It was a kick and nothing else," he repeats.

The sayings of Vandenbroele, a meticulous lawyer and with good notes in notebooks - some of which he forgot in the house of his ex-wife, the complainant of the Ciccone case, Laura Muñoz - are coincident with the evidence by Lijo: There are hiring in which The date on purpose was poorly registered to close the chronology of a contract for advising one of the poorest provinces in the country. To simulate, in reality, a spurious agreement. According to Vandenbroele, those 6.8 million pesos were distributed between the Minister of Economy, Núñez Carmona, Vandebroele himself , and one of the operators of the Formose president, named Martín Cortés. "It was a simulation," insists Vandenbroele.

Vandenbroele is, above all, accused collaborator in the cause known as Ciccone II, which investigates "The Money Route" that was used to finance the printing press and under the control of Boudou. The repentant does not doubt even half a second: "The one who put the money was the banker Jorge Brito, of the Macro". And he deepens: "He paid the salaries and a capitalization. I put together the Dusbel society, in Uruguay, so that the silver arrived from abroad to Argentina. Besides Brito, who participated in these operations was the former banker Raul Moneta."

Justice checked much of this information. The investigating judge Ariel Lijo prosecuted Brito, but thanks to a ruling from a court of appeal, the banker got that ruling reversed and obtained a lack of merit in the case.

The former director of the company The Old Fund repeats that he never charged for "repenting", that he did it by personal decision, thinking about his family, and explains his course inside the "monster" of business K: "Yes, I visited the Mint to sign the contract to print paper money in the former Ciccone. I also went to Lotteries in the province of Buenos Aires because Núñez Carmona was sure that we were going to print casino chips too. Even badges ... "

And then he recalls one of the moments of greatest nervousness for him: it was when Boudou came up with the printing of the ballots that were used in the PASO and in the 2011 general elections in the former Ciccone. "That was why I was in the Casa Rosada, "Vandenbroele confirms, and continues, as if he already had another life, and not his own:" The tickets could not be printed on the company's machines. Luckily Nicolás Ciccone helped us, because he knows about the graphic market, and we outsource the service at Poligráfica del Plata ".

Those were the ballots that bore the faces and names of Cristina Fernández as a candidate for the Presidency and Amado Boudou as a candidate for vice. They won both elections.

But, according to Vandenbroele, everything would get worse for him.

The former creator of The Old Fund swears that they planned and planned to win more contracts with which millions would be won, the two friends of Mar del Plata, Boudou and Núñez, dreamed. After the vertigo of the highest months of the case, even after the former vice prisoner, Vandenbroele now admits having known both "Beloved" and "José María" as a young man. It was in the house of his maternal uncles, from Mar del Plata. Núñez was even a boyfriend after a cousin of his, whom the former vice, when he was Minister of Economy, appointed as head of the Anses in the regional Mar del Plata: "The idea was also to print money from other countries in the former Ciccone . From Latin America. But above all from Africa. "

During the years of graphic apogee of the founding family of the Calconeographic Ciccone, the brothers Nicolás and Héctor Cicccone, came to make Bahrain's paper money. But Núñez Carmona and Boudou told Vandenbroele that the African nation they could access to get nothing more or nothing less than the contract to make their money was Angola, a country with many ties to the world K.

Vandenbroele is no longer part of the "Witness and Imputed Protection Program" . But he swears that nothing and no one will silence him to declare in Justice everything he knows, what weighed about a thousand kilos on his shoulders, but which he is sure was a mistake, and wants to correct.
