Depreciated in their value, without any kind of utility, sheltered in the San Fernando Airport,

nobody wants to buy Lázaro Báez's planes.

They were auctioned more than three times: today their value is between 4 and 10% of what they were appraised in 2016 when businessman K was arrested for money laundering.

In addition,

two properties of Daniel Muñoz

- former private secretary of Néstor Kirchner - valued at more than one and a half million dollars, were auctioned three times and did not manage to sell either.

The prices are rearranged in each public call of the State Property Administration Agency (AABE) and everything is worth less, even so and all the goods of corruption could not be sold in the online auctions of two airplanes, a charming department of Puerto Madero and a building in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo, with 30 garages and offices.


Lázaro Báez's planes


Among his more than 1,400 assets valued at 205 million dollars, Cristina Kirchner's former business partner has a fleet of planes through his company Top Air.

The aircraft are a Rockwell Commnader model 690 B, which arrived in Buenos Aires on April 5, 2016, when he was detained by order of Judge Sebastián Casanello.

And a Learjet.

Both

 were worth $ 720,000.

Today they are auctioned at substantially lower values: just over

$ 50,000 between the two.

One of Lázaro Báez's planes was auctioned three times.

The Rockwell Commnader has already been auctioned three times and despite the devaluation of its value, the bidders do not appear.

In addition, whoever acquires it will have to face the debts that were accumulating in these years.

In 2016 this aircraft had been valued at

$ 211,300

, but in successive auctions its value decreased: it was first auctioned at $ 110,000 in 2019, in October of that same year it was lowered to $ 55,800 and now the government of Alberto Fernández is auctioning it - unsuccessfully - 2,684,700 pesos, which at the official exchange rate is equivalent to about

$ 19,290.

Well below the value awarded five years ago.

The specification of its auction states that some of its equipment is ready "to be mounted in the tank: height selection indicator, ILS indicator, Garmin system control unit, among others." Likewise, "the right propeller is It is found disassembled in the AASSA hangar, with its accessories ".


Other information: the right engine is also "disassembled, and in the workshops of the company CG Turbines SRL on request of the firm AASSA, due to an inspection of the gearbox".

The second ship whose online auction called by the AABE did not prosper due to the lack of interested parties is the

Learjet LV BPL, 

which, when appraised by federal court order, was awarded an official value of $ 517,000.

Its operation requires a significant investment.

Detained for two years, she was under the judicial guard of the Ministry of Security from the previous administration.

Its maintenance and repair were very expensive, so it was returned to justice and only the plot with the slogan

"assets recovered from corruption"

remained

.

It was when the AABE included the plane in the auction list.

The auction statement states that the plane - which is out in the open inside the San Fernando airport - has

a "regular state of maintenance

, observing the deteriorated paint on one end of the left fuel tank":

The AABE authorities indicated that they could not access the interior, but "the flight deck for two people and the control panels were observed. The turbines were covered with tarpaulins and appeared to have been detained in the place for some time."

These planes were bought, according to the courts, with money of illicit origin as a

result of and money laundering carried out by Lázaro Báez.

The Federal Oral Court 4 (TOF 4) that ordered the AABE to carry out the auctions, sentenced businessman K to twelve years for money laundering.

The buildings of Daniel Muñoz



The State is also unable to find a buyer for

two properties that belonged to Daniel Muñoz

, the former secretary of Néstor Kirchner.

The investigation is a detachment of the cause known as the Cuadernos de las Coimas.

The late Judge Claudio Bonadio seized assets for about

$ 20 million

.

The order was issued on 38 properties, of which 27 are already firm.

A charming apartment in Puerto Madero, two garages in the Palermo neighborhood, and now a building with three apartments, 30 garages and two offices, are part of the list of confiscated properties;

They have a combined value of

$ 3,489,000.

Judge Bonadio said that part of the apartments, garages, and land acquired by Daniel Muñoz's environment were the result of "a portion of

the illegal funds that were collected within the framework of the illicit association led by Cristina Kirchner

."

For this reason, the confiscation of property was ordered, and during the macrista administration the AABE required the justice to provide the key to the properties to begin to visit and appraise them.

Two of them were finished off three times each, official sources said, without success. 

The bathroom in Muñoz's office that had an armored door.

One of the properties is located at Calle Pedro Ignacio Rivera 5763/67.

It is a building with three apartments, 30 garages and 2 offices listed in the name of Daniel Muñoz and Víctor Manzanares, Cristina Kirchner's former accountant.

It has a private appraisal of $ 963,000.

There are three apartments in that building: "B" is unoccupied, while "A" and "C" are currently rented.

The tenants of “A” have been there for more than 4 years.

In "C" it was not possible to corroborate who is occupying it.

Added to this property is the department of Sergio Todisco, designated as Muñoz's front man.

Bright, spacious in its rooms, with a price above

620,000 dollars and located in a charming building in Puerto Madero, it

was

one of the first to be auctioned as part of a program to recover assets from corruption.

But there was no one to offer.

With an area of ​​99.8 square meters and located on the third floor, it is completely empty.

It has a large room, kitchen, two bathrooms, two balconies and a living room.

The apartment does not preserve or reflect the luxury of the tower where it is located.
