The former Minister of Federal Planning,
Julio De Vido
, acquitted in the last Highway trial in which
Cristina Kirchner
was convicted, remains in house arrest for the purchase of junk trains from Spain and Portugal, among other causes, and in a radio interview he revealed details of his period in the Ezeiza prison: "
I shared prison with a gypsy, we made a lot of friendship
".
On October 25, 2017, 176 deputies voted in favor of the impeachment of Julio De Vido as national deputy at the request of Federal Judge Luis Rodríguez and that same day he was detained in preventive detention at the Ezeiza Prison.
It was in the cause of embezzlement of $26,000 million that should be directed to the modernization and enhancement of Yacimientos Carboníferos Río Turbio (YCRT) and the Justice found damage to the State estimated at 265 million pesos.
Julio De Vido was sentenced for the purchase of "junk trains" from Spain and Portugal.
More than five years later, De Vido spoke of his time inside the Penitentiary.
After praising the governor of La Rioja for declaring lithium a strategic resource, in dialogue with the AM 530
program "El Regreso de la 530"
, they told the former minister that they call governor
Ricardo Quintela
"El Gitano".
De Vido asked not to stigmatize and released a revelation.
" I
shared a prison with a gypsy
, I don't know what he was accused of, we made a lot of friends not only with him but with the family. At almost 70 years from that moment I had to fraternize with him, a very good fellow prisoner," said the former Minister of Planning during the 12 years of Kirchnerism.
"Some who had a pedigree that seemed excellent turned out to be no better than him, I don't want to name names," he added.
And then he spoke of another former Kirchner official who worked with him and who remains detained for several sentences: "I wanted to take advantage of the moment to ask for the release of
Ricardo Jaime
, which is already crazy, a whim. He exceeds seven years in prison. Regardless of the evaluation of one or the other about his person".

"It is an affront to human rights that a man who is sick with cancer, who lost his mother and two brothers while he was detained and was not allowed to visit them, must be released," he added.
"At least have a home prison until this situation is resolved," said the former strongman of Néstor Kirchner.
Impeachment of the Supreme Court
In turn, he also referred to the request for impeachment of the four members of the Supreme Court of Justice and criticized the government: "What is happening with the request for impeachment should have happened on December 11, 2019."
And to criticize the government, De Vido quoted Lieutenant General Juan Domingo Perón when he said that "force must be applied at the appropriate time and place, otherwise it is extemporaneous and irrelevant."
"The truth is that they are counting beans to see if one of the 16 doesn't fall off. After my experience in the Chamber of Deputies, many colleagues were erased when I was arrested, I see this group 'Amague y Recule' in its greatest expression and I have no confidence in what is going to happen", concluded the ex-minister.
