New Money Trail Player Cards Detail Báez-Kirchner Hotel Deals

November 26, 2014 It's been one month since the launch of our first set of Money Trail Player Cards.  We're grateful for all of the great tips from readers, and our Money Trail Player Cards are still getting attention in the media.  Yesterday's Buenos Aires Herald mentioned the cards in a story about our blog post from Monday. This week, we have a new set of cards on a timely theme: the players and companies involved in the Báez-Kirchner hotel deals. The set of includes:

– Hotesur, the holding company for Alto Calafate, a Kirchner hotel  – Roberto Saldivia, a lawyer for Lázaro Báez who is connected to the Kirchner hotel operations  – Osvaldo "Bochi" Sanfelice, a business partner of Máximo Kirchner and a Hotesur board member  – Valle Mitre, a Báez-owned hotel management firm

Last month, we created an infographic to illustrate the flow of money from Argentina, through banks in Nevada, all the way to banks in Europe and the Seychelles. This week's featured player card has a new infographic:Valle Mitre is the hotel management firm Báez owns with which he has used to keep the Kirchner's hotel business running at "full occupancy."

Also featured in this week's set is Hotesur. As reported in the media, Hotesur, the holding company for President Cristina Kirchner's Hotel Alto Calafate, was raided last week. Enjoy this week's set.  And Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at ATFA!
