The former secretary of Cristina Kirchner Víctor Fabián Gutiérrez returned to El Calafate two months ago. By car. His dog Morito accompanied him on the long journey from Buenos Aires. Gutiérrez was diabetic. He was concerned about the Covid-19 pandemic . His mother and sister were in the southern city that he had adopted as their home, although in that kind of village in these frosty times he could cross the street with the accused in a court case in which he was one of the main witnesses. The case of the Cuadernos de las Coimas.
Gutiérrez confirmed, using the figure of accused collaborator , first before the prosecutor Carlos Stornelli, and then before the judge Claudio Bonadio, that he starred in the transfer of bags full of cash dollars that left the Casa Rosada or the Quinta de Olivos on airplanes Presidential Towards Patagonia.
The money they carried would be of illicit origin , according to confessions of bribers and bribed. His voice, his testimony, will not be heard in the hearings of the oral trial of that file, which at some point will have a start date. Former Secretary K was killed. His secrets, if he had more than he already told, went with him.
According to what Clarín could know based on sources that frequented Gutiérrez, who are also in contact with his family and are aware of the progress of the file on his murder, the former secretary was the victim of a seduction plan by a gang of young men who had, as a final objective, to rob Gutiérrez. Or part of a spoil of K corruption or other valuable assets. As will be detailed later, this gang of possible assassins, who they have allegedly confessed, are part of families in the power of Santa Cruz . This was at least until last night the true hypothesis with which the Justice of El Calafate was handled.
The government tried to install as quickly as possible, through various spokesmen, that Gutiérrez had been the victim of a crime of passion . The crime caused a noise in politics, the judiciary and public opinion. First when it transpired for more than a day that Gutiérrez, regretfully crucial in a case against the current vice president , was missing, as his mother had denounced last Thursday at ten at night. And on Saturday from noon when the murder was confirmed.
The leaders of Together for Change issued a statement entitled "A crime of institutional gravity" . In the text they point out that "the kidnapping, disappearance and murder of Fabián Gutiérrez ... is a crime of institutional gravity". In another paragraph, they ask the authorities for explanations for the delay in the appearance of the body, and they demand that the judicial investigation be passed to the Federal Justice because the prosecutor in the case is a direct relative of Cristina Fernández, the main accused by Gutiérrez.
Fabian Guttierrez's body
Who gave him the political volume that the disappearance, and then the outcome of the Gutiérrez crime has in the facts, was the leadership itself.
Only after the story came out in the national media did El Calafate judge Carlos Narvarte seek clues from the former secretary at his home. He found elements that made him say, in a press conference, perhaps hastily, that he was looking for "a body".
How did you know that Gutiérrez was dead if he was only missing?
In the house that the former secretary occupied only two days ago, located two blocks from the Kirchner house where Gutiérrez told how money was hidden from bags in a vault , the mayor of El Calafate, Javier Belloni, were present. . And the Secretary of Security of Santa Cruz, Lisandro de la Torre, traveled from Río Gallegos to that city; the head of the Province Police, José Luis Cortés; and the city prosecutor, Natalia Mercado , who was mixed up in the controversy because her aunt is Cristina Fernández, the main defendant in the confession of Gutiérrez, the assassinated, and also even for her links with relatives of the possible homicides.
The presence of the provincial and local political authorities already accounted for what was obvious: the disappearance of Gutiérrez had an absolute impact on the K power, the opposition, and Justice.
When his murder was confirmed, that sad quality was even greater. Gutiérrez has at least two very large houses in El Calafate. He went from secretary to businessman. He was dismissed in one case of illicit enrichment and was prosecuted in another for money laundering.
As Clarín rebuilt based on sources that knew him a great deal, Gutiérrez was quarantined in El Calafate , when he arrived from Buenos Aires, along with his mother and sister, in a mansion he built in the area known as Aeropuerto Viejo. It is a house with a green park in the middle of a desert geography, several floors, also monitored by several cameras. The place became a torment for him. His nephew drowned in the heated pool . Gutiérrez decided to donate that house to his sister.
By chance, just two days before his murder, he was able to use his other house in the city again, where the events that ended his life ended up happening. It was rented and uninhabited.
The sources of the case, added to those related to the Gutiérrez family and to those of Santa Cruz politics coincide on the true clue on which the judicial evidence collected so far could coincide.
Clarín was able to reconstruct that the investigation, and the confession of the possible Gutiérrez assassins, are linked to the enrichment of former Secretary K.
Two brothers named Zaeta, plus another named Gómez, and a fourth, Monzón, would have planned to seduce Gutiérrez through one of them to make an appointment with him. What they really wanted was to steal a fortune in cash or other assets that they seem to have not found.
Sources who know the society of El Calafate affirm that it was Facundo Zaeta who sent messages to Gutiérrez for several days insisting on seeing himself alone. Gutiérrez was homosexual. It does not mean anything. Although he was in charge of declaring in Justice that he suffered "bullying" from his boss in the Kirchner secretariat, the now deceased Daniel Muñoz.
Fabián Gutiérrez.
Having released his new house, Gutierrez accepted the invitation of Zaeta, whom he knew from El Calafate because his grandfather and parents dedicate themselves to the notary business.
He did not come alone. She went to see him with three more friends. According to the clues that would already be included in the file, always according to Clarín's sources , once at Gutierrez's house the youth gang laundered their objective: to rob him. The victim would have resisted and among the four they could have hurt him to death or left him on the verge of death. From that house, they would have taken him to the house where his already lifeless body was finally found.
In between, they clumsily discarded the ex-secretary's iPhone, and returned to the house where everything started to try to clean the traces of blood. The police investigation with chemicals and reagents would have detected the invisible blood partly in the eyes.
Gutiérrez himself had anticipated to his environment that he would see Zaeta. At first it was believed that he was the scribe and not his grandson.
The police soon found him, just like the rest of the young people who are now delayed, who would have confessed everything.
The judge stated that it could be a crime of passion. Strange hypothesis when there are at least four protagonists in one death.
The prosecutor in the case is Natalia Mercado, sister of Romina Mercado, both daughters of Alicia Kirchner . In other words, the prosecutor is the first sister of Máximo and Florencia Kirchner. And, therefore, the niece of Cristina Fernández, the main accused in the case in which Gutiérrez was an essential repentant.
The businessman Fabián Gutiérrez, ex-secretary of Néstor and Cristina Kirchner, was found dead this morning by the Santa Cruz Police.
Added to this is that Facundo Zaeta's scribe grandfather, Oscar, was the notary of several of Cristina's real estate businesses , and of his partner Lázaro Báez in El Calafate. And he also also wrote a piece of land in the name of the prosecutor Mercado.
Yesterday, the prosecutor in the Cuadernos case, Carlos Stornelli, told Clarín that Gutierrez's death left him "dismayed", but clarified that at the same time "I am not surprised. I have already experienced the death of witnesses in other judicial cases. The list is long. And I'm afraid there will be more. "
