The lawyer José Manuel Ubeira, who denounced that the false lawyer Marcelo D’Alessio and the prosecutor Carlos Stornelli wanted to make a hidden camera to impede his professional work, said today that the case being investigated by the “anti-union Gestapo” is the “most serious that been in democracy” and also considered “very relevant” the finding of more than 105 thousand illegal wiretaps in the AFI.
In addition, Ubeira warned that it is “crazy” that the actions of former spies from the intelligence center during the Cambiemos administration might be understood as the action of the self-employed.
The lawyer referred today to the revelation regarding the meeting of former officials from Buenos Aires, former directors of the AFI and businessmen from the La Plata area at the Buenos Aires headquarters of Banco Provincia, which was recorded by a camera, in which legal actions were planned once morest unionists and that led to an investigation into the actions of former governor María Eugenia Vidal herself.
Regarding the inquiries requested by the federal judge of La Plata, Ernesto Kreplak, in charge of the case, Ubeira considered that it is the “most serious investigation that there has been in a democracy” because “in a democratic State that the Government itself dedicate to this type of tasks is obviously a fact that should move everyone”.
Among those summoned to the investigation are the former Buenos Aires Minister of Labor Marcelo Villegas and other former officials, businessmen and former directors of the AFI, who participated in the June 2017 meeting in the multipurpose room on the seventh floor of Bapro, in which they coordinated actions with the objective of imprisoning the trade unionist from La Plata, Juan Pablo “Pata” Medina, of the Uocra.
“I want to assume that this does not end only with these inquiries but that this will go up,” Ubeira considered in dialogue with Radio 10.

A fallback.
And he added: “Everything depends on politics, on how society is ahead of this type of issue.”
“The 105,000 calls seem very relevant to me,” Ubeira pointed out in relation to the finding that the AFI intervener, Cristina Caamaño, communicated and handed over to the Justice this week.
The lawyer, who defended Federico Elaskar in the case for money laundering and Oscar Thomas in the file of the notebooks, denounced -in the framework of the case in which alleged illegal espionage maneuvers are being investigated- that D’Alessio and Stornelli tried to make a hidden camera for him, which they finally failed to do.
Regarding the argument that the AFI agents would be “self-employed”, Ubeira ironically: “Perhaps they were selective self-employed. If the entire hive was under surveillance, why did two bees escape?” he asked, alluding to Mauricio Macri and his Former Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich. (Telam)
