The financiers reach an agreement with the Andorran prosecutor's office for which they will pay 43 million dollars to the Andorran state, of the 92 blocked in BPA, in exchange for avoiding a 5-year prison sentence
Argentinian financiers Oscar Rigano, RubénSeret and Alfredo Blasco GarcÃa, responsible for the exchange house Jonestur, admitted to having laundered 437 million dollars through BPA. This is contained in the agreement signed between those involved and the Andorran prosecutor's office and to which the Argentinian newspaper La Nación has had access and has published the content.
The three financiers have managed, through the pact with the Andorran public ministry, to replace an effective 5-year prison sentence for the crimes of asset laundering and illegal financial activity in exchange for the payment of 40 million euros - around 43 million at the current exchange rate - between fines, commissions and court costs.
The agreement entails that none of the three can enter Andorra for 7 years and the total disqualification to operate for 6 years in the Principality's financial circuit. The pact allows them to pay the 40 million euros with part of the 92 million dollars they had frozen in different accounts of the Private Banking of Andorra (BPA). The money will be for the Andorran state.
In the agreement that Rigano, Seret and Blasco GarcÃa signed in Andorra - the fourth was Francisco Fernando GarcÃa Navarro who died in 2018 -, the percentages of commissions they received for laundering BPA are recognized. The financiers charged a commission of between 1 and 5% for laundering. They have acknowledged that the volume that passed through the accounts linked to the financier Jonestur in BPA reached a "total amount of about 437 million dollars".
Jonestur has been singled out for its collaboration in the laundering of assets of Daniel Muñoz, private secretary of the Kirchner family. Sergio Todisco, Muñoz's alleged frontman, confessed to having used the services of the financier to triangulate stolen funds to tax havens and acquire properties in the United States.
The criminal operation could vary at times, Todisco detailed, but always involved large volumes of cash. Jonestur and the other "caves" with which he laundered corruption money charged him a commission of between 1 and 1.5%, although "there were peaks where it cost up to 6% ".
As Jonestur officials admitted before the Andorran prosecutor, their "clandestine banking" services were supported by the intensive use of dozens of "front companies" set up in Panama. Among them, Batelcor SA, Bines Financial SA, Celler de Tratoria SA, Brimark Hòlding SA, Cadi Snow Mountain SA, Costa Topaz Internacional SA, CovemarInvestment SA, DeylandInvestments SA, Helfand International Inc, Duport Hòlding SA, FranglerInvestments SA, Grup Brisa SA, HillygusInternational SA, La ChalacaCorp, LiversidgeOverseas SA, MallertonInternationalInc, MonaskaOverseas SA, MosellaInternational SA, Murray International Corp, Port Rat SA, RandexInternational SA, Rtrodesis SA, RuncoastOverseas SA, RusshillOverseas SA, Shadow Moses Island Corp, Thenalp SA and TomburyInvestment SA.
