Onward: Book reveals secrets about Carlos Pedro Braquier and the women in his family

Dictators don’t like this

The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That’s why it bothers those who think they have the truth.

In this new version, the third one, Ferrari includes a new version called ” buenos aires yoga school (EYBA), in which accountants were charged Juan Pecovicet al – led a “sect” under investigation for alleged human trafficking, including Carlos Pedro, who died in 2023 at the age of 95,”One of the major customers”, in the words of the reporter.

“Braquier died with impunity Despite all the evidence, in this case and in Blackout Night,” Ferrari said in a conversation with PERFIL. In EYBA cases, the judge responsible for enforcing the case is Ariel Foodgovernment candidate Javier Miley occupy one Supreme Court vacancies. When asked if she would have voted for her document if she were a senator, she responded bluntly: “Not crazy”.

In addition to the portrait of the sugar merchant, the book’s revelations are supported by a wealth of testimonies and documents that also tell the secrets of the family woman. “Malena Nelsonafter Silvestre Blaquier was widowed, he organized large parties, dated young people, and even philip of edinburghhusband queen elizabeth ii“, he gave an example.

“One of his daughters, Teresastay with him husband of her sister julia”, he added. In other cases, another of them was commented, doloresdetained in Ezeiza Prison He was accused of having links to drug cartels but was eventually released after being charged with “drug possession”.

Likewise, the author emphasizes Marlena’s niece, Ginette RenardThe famous actress and presenter broke away from her family’s expectations and began modeling in the mid-1970s, later appearing on stage, the small screen and other media.

The back cover of the book reads: “What is the role of the women of this clan, capable of the most sinister deeds? Tolerating betrayal and humiliation with incredible stoicism and presenting themselves as mere ornaments.” Considered “a black sheep among the country’s elite” There are several reasons.

——Who are the Braquier family? How would you define this Argentine aristocratic family?

——They are one early aristocratic family In Argentina. I focus on two branches: Braquil Arrieta and Blake Nelson. They are cousins, but very different. Some of them were poor and they were the middle children of Sylvester and Marlena Braquier. Sylvester is a very millionaire because he inherited his father’s second wife’s fortune. Mercedes Ancolenaone of the richest women in the country. They had nine children, he died young and she became an influential widow, known for her parties and lifestyle.

On the other hand, there is Blaquier Arrieta, which is more traditional and more closely connected to the business world. In their new generation they consist of Carlos Pedro Braquier y Nellie Arrietta. She was the original owner of the house Ledesma’s ingenuity, One of the most important regions in Latin America. Although it was already working well before Carlos Pedro arrived, he helped expand it and make it what it is today. The Arrieta family had no native surname, and Nelly was raised as a child and continued to run the mill, but I want to devote myself to art.

Carlos Pedro was a very smart lawyer who was a perfect fit for her family because they thought he was suitable to lead the firm.

– How did the idea come about to make this book, which, although it is titled “Las Blaquier”, also focuses on the figure of Carlos Pedro?

——After writing this book “Cholima, a true story” I became interested in studying more about the upper class, which moved with impunity. I do not mean Maxima herself, but her father, Jorge ZoreguitaAs Minister of Agriculture during the Videla dictatorship, he was unable to attend his daughter’s wedding.

There is evidence that Mothers of Plaza de Mayo They asked him to help find their children, but he refused. This prompted me to investigate more about impunity among the upper classes and politics. Zoreguita didn’t order anyone to be killed, but he didn’t cooperate, so I found out The dark story of Carlos Pedroespecially when he was in the so-called “blackout night“During the dictatorship, 400 people were kidnapped and many disappeared. Their lack of justice prompted me to write this book.

Carlos Braquier accused of ‘Blackout Night’ crimes, dies without trial

——What does “blackout night” look like?

——This year is the 49th anniversary. It was a regrettable incident that Carlos Pedro Blaquier, who at the time was already president of the Ledesma factory, he gave him a list one Jorge Rafael Videla (the de facto president of a country) with the names of people who “annoyed him”, including factory worker, trade union memberstudents and even the former mayor, Luis Arredeshe wanted to impose taxes he never paid.

During the blackout in Ledesma, Jujuy, it was completely dark; armed forces, police He and accomplices civilians entered homes and kidnapped people on the list, which numbered about 500 people. 55 people missing. Plant managers Carlos Pedro Blaquier and Alberto Lemos were charged but not tried.

Time passes, a few years ago EYBA case (Buenos Aires Yoga School), Leader Juan Pecovicaccused of being a sectarian purpose of sexual exploitation. there i saw Carlos Pedro is a regular visitor And the media ignored this. So, I decided to update this reason.

—Can you tell me about media coverage of the yoga school incident and reaction to the case?

– Unfortunately, this is not enough. Despite the importance of the case, Carlos Pedro This was barely mentioned in the media.. They ignored his involvement and painted him in a positive light when he died in 2023, more than a year after the case came to light. I even talked to his friends and they told me Neither his children nor the women at home care about him.

carlos pedro and nellie they formed a society Until the last day of their lives, because although they had been separated for many years, he left her when he met his secretary, Christina Kaluf He was 26 years old at the time and a man who liked women very much. Still, as I say in the book, he had other women and he was a client of this network Broken many people’s hearts – Through trafficking, misappropriation of property and the illegal practice of medicine – he had his favorite victims.

—How did you do research for this book?

—I used the following combination hard data and testimony-based entertainment. By thoroughly studying the characters, their characteristics and psychology, I was able to recreate certain scenes to make the narrative more interesting. I used real data, files and I keep everything documented;That’s why he never raised a question or complained about me. Incorporating dialogue to better illustrate the connections between characters helped me create Narration is easier to understand Provide information to readers while staying true to the facts.

—What do you think about the role of the state and the judiciary in human trafficking? If you were a senator, would you vote for Judge Liho to be a member of the Supreme Court based on his performance in the yoga school case?

——Argentina’s Anti-Human Trafficking Law Very beautiful and completebut it was not implemented. Poor execution and corruption in the justice system are big problems. If anyone sees these files The evidence there is disgusting.: Videos, photos, wiretaps, Excel and confiscated money, there’s everything to put them behind bars. There are a lot of heavyweights involved.

I wouldn’t even vote for Judge Ariel Liho. Not crazy. When I closed the book, I didn’t focus on him, but in fact, he was also the one who had a reason to complain. Alejandro Romos and Matias Barreiro (alleged human trafficking). I don’t like Lijo, he stopped the cause of human trafficking. With so much evidence, how is it possible that these people are not in jail?
