Hugo Moyano was involved yesterday in a story of spies, black silver and betrayals.
The leader of the truckers "
would have paid, through his lawyer, Daniel Llermanos, between 200 thousand and 500 thousand dollars"
to two former AFI agents to
carry out
a maneuver that would bring down the case for the fraud to Independiente in which he is accused his son Pablo.
The former AFI agents are called Facundo Melo and Leandro Araque and they talked about this alleged payment in
various audios and chats
found by the Justice on the second's cell phone.
In addition, they exchanged chats with Llermanos himself and met in his studio in Puerto Madero.
Melo was not only hired at that time for the
Federal Intelligence Agency (AFI) of the Macri government.
At the same time, he legally represented Damián Lagaronne, one of Pablo “Bebote” Álvarez's sides, the other brave bar from Independiente who complicated Pablo Moyano in court.
A judicial source confirmed to
Clarín
the existence of the incriminating audios and chats of the Moyano's lawyer in the case of prosecutor Martínez.
And he estimated that the conduct of Melo and Araque "seems more that of
self
-
employed workers
than that of two spies."
In short, they were hired by Macri's AFI, one of them assisted Lagaronne and, in addition, they got or wanted to get money from the Moyano.
Even, due to the oscillation of the amounts in the talks from 1 million to 200 thousand dollars, the sources
do not rule out that they have Mexicanized each other.
Llermanos would have paid them to
"turn around"
the investigative statement of the former bar Lagaronne, who was the second of "Bebote" Alvarez.
On November 28, 2018, Lagaronne accused Pablo Moyano of leading an illicit association to defraud Independiente in the mother case investigated by the prosecutor Sebastián Scalera.
But weeks later, he changed his lawyer, Facundo Melo, to
the former head of the Federal Penitentiary Service K, Victor Hortel
, and made a false complaint against Scalera.
However, after talking with his father Lagaronne and studying his legal situation
he made another turn
and denounced that he had been convinced by Llermanos and Hortel to falsely attack Scalera.
Once the maneuver against Scalera
was
discovered,
a case related to the Independiente was opened in the hands of the judge of Lomas de Zamora, Jorge López, and the prosecutor Javier Martínez
.
Then, Martínez requested the audios and chats of Melo and Araque from the prosecutor Incardona.
But at the end of last year, federal judge Juan Pablo Augé and prosecutors Cecilia Incardona and Santiago Eyherabide discovered these communications on Araque's cell phone and sent them to Judge López and prosecutor Martínez.
The news of the audios was known the same day that the Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation
passed
the main cases for the alleged illegal macrista espionage of the federal judge Auge de Lomas de Zamora to the courts of Comodoro Py (See separate).
In the case of Lomas de Zamora, Pablo Moyano is a plaintiff against Macri's AFI leadership and even falsely accused journalists such as Luis Majul, Nicolás Wiñazki and Gustavo Grabia.
The audios between Melo and Leandro were broadcast on the program "Esta Mañana" by Radio Rivadavia directed by Luis Majul based on a note by journalist Camilo Cagnacci.
Prosecutor Martínez
called Llermanos to investigate last Wednesday
to ask him about these audios and other evidence but "he did not appear" due to health problems.
Instead, Hortel, who is currently director of the Plan against Hunger
, appeared on Thursday and refused to testify
.
In the first audio of February 2019, Melo informs Araque that he is
"rushing"
Llermanos, with whom he had just met, to pay them the supposed outstanding balance for the services rendered.
He refers to Llermanos as
"the Old Man"
.
And he tells Araque that he asked for "at least half" of the agreed money.
Also, he tells him that Llermanos promised to speak with
"el Negro" - by Moyano
- to give him an answer "on Monday."
The trucker leader's lawyer would have been even more specific: "We are going to
scratch as much of the can as we can
."
In addition, Melo tells his partner that he made Llermanos listen to some audios that could serve to complicate the prosecutor Scalera, who is investigating the alleged irregularities in the Independiente club in the mother case.
Finally, Melo ends up taking it for granted that Hugo Moyano and his lawyer would end up paying them for all of their “services”.
In the end, Melo is hopeful about getting paid: "
I think he's going to do it,
but he's going to make us deny it."
This is the transcription of an audio taken from Araque's phone:
-Yes friend.
Now I agree that on Monday we will meet at six in the afternoon and he gives me an answer.
I said to him: 'look, next week, idiot, I need something' ...
And he affirmed that Llermanos would have answered him;
'Yes Yes.
On Monday I talk to El Negro (Moyano) and tell you '.
At least half
. "Then, he added: 'Nooo ... half', dress as it is. 'Let's see (of) scratching as much of the can as possible ..."
“I passed the audio (to Llermanos).
Nothing, it works again.
But you saw how it is: 'no, there are three fragments ... it is not what I thought, but there are three fragments'.
Dress like El Viejo (by Llermanos).
So, well, I stayed on Monday, Dwarf ... he's going to make us deny this one.
I believe that he is going to fulfill it,
but he is going to make us deny it
”, adds Melo in the conversation with Araque.
The telephone conversation took place on February 9, 2019. At that time, both Lagaronne and Bebote Alvarez remained in prison.
