This thread is the continuation of this other. Besides:

Alleged conflict of interest
Aranguren also in the spotlight as he refuses to sell Shell stock
Quote:
 
The sworn declarations of the assets belonging to the officials of the Mauricio Macri presidency (presented last Thursday at the Anti-Corruption Office) reveal varying degrees of wealth among a total of of over 430 million pesos but no item had more impact than the 16 million pesos worth of shares retained in Shell by Energy and Mining Minister Juan José Aranguren because it also represents a conflict of interest.

But Aranguren (with a 38-year career in Shell, whose local branch he headed for 12 years until last December when he joined Macri’s Cabinet) has no plans to shed the shares. Ministry spokesmen hastened to defend the situation of controlling the oil industry while owning shares in one of its companies by arguing: “The only restriction imposed by the law is that the minister cannot take specific decisions concerning Shell as a company previously employing him.”

While the case of Energy Minister José Aranguren is one of the most high-profile and potentially serious investigations involving a member of President Mauricio Macri’s cabinet being named in a possible conflict of interests concerning over private assets, numerous other key figures in the administration are also implicated.

Banco Nación chief Melconian admits holding money overseas
Quote:
 
Banco Nación chief Carlos Melconian yesterday acknowledged that he holds money overseas, but promised to bring it back as soon as investors “regain confidence” in the local economy.

“As many Argentines, I have money stashed abroad. Of course, I will bring some of it back, and some will stay there for my children,” Melconian said yesterday during TV host Mirtha Legrand’s programme aired on Channel 13.

^^^Carlos Melconián. The huge majority of Argentinians has not money stashed abroad.

Confirmed. Under the Macri Regime, Argentina has become The Twilight Zone.
