Robo para la corona: Los frutos prohibidos del arbol de la corrupcion

---

In January 1991, Horacio Verbitsky shocked the government and public opinion by revealing Ambassador Todman's claim for the bribe requested from the U.S. meat packing plant Swift. Eleven months later, he offers readers his new book, Robbery for the Crown, an exhaustive investigation of the “new Argentina”, which forms a detailed map with names and names of the corrupt and the corrupters, the winners and the defeated.

The Swift case did not occur in a vacuum but in the midst of a vertiginous and murky economic-social process of reconversion and change. The obligatory question could be stated as follows: is corruption just a mistake, an excess to be suppressed so as not to contaminate the purity of the model, or, on the contrary, is it a perversion inherent to the Menemist adjustment and the auctioning of the State? From this question, Verbitsky demonstrates step by step that, in today's Argentina, the upper echelons of the bureaucratic pyramid are not only formally responsible for the acts of their subordinates, but also that the crimes themselves would be unfeasible without their express protection and cover-up.

The privatization of ENTel and Aerolíneas Argentinas, the concession of oil areas and national roads, the takeover of the Supreme Court and other management control bodies, the Petroquímica Bahía Blanca and Swift “cases”, the dark struggles for power and the swampy moral climate of the Menemist court (which hours before the pardon celebrated Christmas Eve with a Christmas party), all of this has been the result of the “privatization” of the Argentine government.
