Until now Neither Milei nor any of the referents or shipowners targeted by the public complaints were cited or charged. But the citations are especially relevant because on August 13, in one month and eight days, Milei will be submitted to the popular vote in the Primary, Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory elections.
In 2021, González was the federal prosecutor who accused President Alberto Fernández in the run-up to the midterm elections following the leak of the images that gave rise to the scandal known as the Dinner in Olivos. After that, the prosecutor Sebastián Casanello upheld the accusation and the case went to the Federal Justice of San Isidro, where he finally reached an economic reparation agreement for his dismissal.

Milei: “Each one self-finances the campaign”
“In our space each one self-finances the campaign. That is to say, we finance the campaign with our own money and that annoys the traditional politicians because they are financed with the money from taxes. We are going to take all this group of people who do not have evidence to Justice,” said Milei through a TikTok in the last hours.
