Santiago Caputo became a kind of black monk of Javier Milei who advances stealthily over the main government coffers.
The nephew of “Nicky” Caputo is one of Milei’s closest advisors, who claims him as nothing less than the maker of the election victory.
Without major appearances, this communications specialist began to take over key areas of the government that do not have the exposure of a ministry but that concentrate a significant budget flow.
As soon as the Government started, Caputo imposed Belén Stettler as Media Secretary, a professional unknown in the world of national media and who was not part of Milei’s press team. Her main asset is having worked with “Nicky’s” nephew in her political consulting firm.
Beyond the formalities of the organizational chart, Caputo also concentrates the decision on the official media (Télam, Canal 7 and Radio Nacional), which manage multi-million dollar deliveries and Milei promised to close, but now it is not so clear who are encouraged or want to take that step.
Milei ran to Cerimedo and advances with the cleansing of libertarians
While advancing in different areas of the State, an appointment by Caputo caused sting among libertarians: he appointed Roberto “Mono” di Lorenzo as chief of staff of the Media Secretariat.
Di Lorenzo was chief of staff to Matas Tombolini, Secretary of Commerce in the previous government. During the campaign, Patricia Bullrich baptized him “Tongolini.”
Caputo also placed Guillermo Garat in a key position at YPF, who is part of his circle of trust and, like him, was trained in the political campaign business with Jaime Durán Barba. Garat will manage the Communication and Marketing area of YPF, a multimillion-dollar fund.
At first he was mentioned to Caputo himself to head the AFI, but finally Silvestre Sívori, a lawyer who worked with Guillermo Dietrich, ended up there, just as Garat did. Caputo’s strategy is clear: bring people in but avoid the signature.
Now, government sources confirmed to LPO that Caputo seeks to stay with Nación Seguros, the “flagship insurer”, the insurance company of Banco Nación, which is the largest in the country.
Neuss, a Menemist businessman, accompanies him on that adventure. reported at the time for the scandalous privatization of the radio spectrum with Thales Spectrum. On the night of the ballot, this businessman celebrated Milei’s victory until dawn at the Tequilla disco.
During Alberto’s term, the position was in the hands of Alberto Pagliano, who arrived with the support of MartÃnez Sosa, husband of the president’s private secretary. Pagliano is a friend of the former president since the times when he was in charge of the National Insurance Superintendence, during the first presidency of Carlos Menem.
During Macri’s mandate, the person in charge of Nación Seguros was Juan Sarquis, whom another Caputo, the Minister of Economy, is now seeking to place as General Manager of Banco Nación, according to LPO in the Executive.
