_Alberto Föhrig: There will be much drug money in the campaigns of 2015 (The Nation) _ The academic warned against the colonization of Be or by candidates supported by organized crime;. Do not you close the numbers of some candidates, he said . Alberto Föhrig looks resigned Believes that dirty money, mostly from drug trafficking, devoted councilors, mayors, legislators and possibly , the new president of Argentina in 2015. He raises his hand to warn, just the interview with the NATION begins: Seven years later, we still hope that Justice contribution certainties about financing the campaign of Cristina Kirchner, 2007. There is a check signed by a man (Sebastián Forza) with tested ephedrine mafia (links lanacion.ar/triple-crimen-t46774 ). Fhörig a PhD in Political Science; studies the relationship between politics and organized crime. The Argentine academic toured the universities of Oxford, Harvard, Yale and Georgetown, but now lists examples from the party of San Martin to the hottest areas of Mexico. It would be a scandal anywhere in the world I have tried the drug czar (José Ramón Granero) for trafficking in ephedrine ( lanacion.ar/1711308-processed-by-traffic-d... ). And my mirror is not Sweden. A Colombian President (Ernesto Samper) buried his political career by being financed by drug traffickers. In Argentina nothing happened launched. It is certain that there will be much drug money in different campaigns 2015. Warns of the risk that these organizations colonize the State. They bring and ask to change some councilors on the list. They provide and require a friend in supervisory bodies. They provide and request appointment of Justice. The example of Mexico is very clear. And to get into the campaign, Föhrig says that he was close campaign numbers already stepped forward and asked the candidates to explain how they are funded. - Can there be funding drug campaigns in 2015? - Yes, of course. After the scandal of 2007 nothing happened. No sanctions is hard not repeated. Surely there will be much drug money in the campaigns of 2015. - The campaign is already in the street ... What clues notes of these contributions? - Do not close the numbers of some candidates. Can Count on posters, look how they move. It would be good to tell us how they are funded, because it really does not seem to be clear. - How contributes money drug trafficking? - No need only to read the official information prepared by the Congressional committee investigating the Candela case. A Candelas murder for revenge between narcos de San Martín, ten minutes of Capital. They are mixed bands, ie, with explicit involvement of police. In the file there names. In one case, for example, one of the police that integrated the band was not only not punished, but some time later he was promoted. Now holds that area. Why nothing happened? Witnesses say there was an order from above. I know a lot of people over the police chief. I find it hard to understand why the governor of the province did not intervene. - How does this case electoral financing? - The link is straightforward: no drug with police involvement. That security force has political backing. Collected for someone. Is a triangle. Illegal actor, the legal actor who turns a blind eye, and political. And this is replicated with all the money in black, not just drug trafficking. - What other actors bring black money? - It is very easy to tell history of political and ill narcos. The illegal campaign financing also involves actors operating in white, as some large companies. Companies that pay surveys or send their employees fourth line to provide the name to appear as donors, rather than expose their managers. The role of business is shameful. - How might the increase in drug trafficking in the country in the campaigns of 2015? - The exponential growth produces more black drug trafficking to finance political money. In Argentina spend 120 tons of cocaine per year. The mega export runs in major ports. That does not act a policeman Party San Martín; are major stakeholders that are certainly dressed better than us. Where does the money that allows the complicity? - With the background of Mexican cartels in the campaign of 2007. foreign organized crime groups operating in Argentina in campaign financing 2015 Can you influence? - As in 2007, it is likely that this also happens in these elections, but no concrete evidence. Drug trafficking is transnational. But foreigners do not operate in isolation. This is primarily an Argentine drug business. - Drug trafficking prefer some sort of particular candidate? - We have 24 governors, 1500 mayors, councilors and even thousands of school counselors. Everyone needs money. The fragmented policy is more expensive. When you were two parties, as in the 80s, you had two mouths to feed. When you have 20 mouths, as now, you have to raise for all. And the incentives for illegal funding increase, because legal contributions are very few. When the tenth candidate approaches to borrow money, the company says no. Where will you go for? - What are the risks of receiving such contributions? - Anyone who donates at least seeks to influence or obtain a favor. Drug trafficking, at its end, try to move the state. Colonize. Contribute money and ask to change some councilors in the list. Provide and require a friend in supervisory bodies. Provide and request appointment of Justice. The example of Mexico is clear. - And in Argentina? - For Candela is mentioned a former provincial senator Justicialist Party, which named people close in the courts of San Martín. One of those of his relatives investigating the case. Source: lanacion.ar/1747153-alberto-fhrig-there will-much...
