Tupac Amaru to Sue Argentina's Macri over 'Slander
Published 2 May 2016
The social movement is filing a complaint against the president after calling it a “paramilitary organization” and accusing its leaders of stealing money.
The Argentine social organization Tupac Amaru announced the filing of a criminal suit against the country’s President Mauricio Macri and the governor of Jujuy province, Gerardo Morales, for "aggravated coercion", slander and false accusations against the social movement, their jailed leader Milagro Sala and congresswoman Mabel Balconte, a former member of the group.
The complaint is scheduled to be presented Monday morning at the Comodoro Py court in Buenos Aires and will be delivered by the national coordinator of the Tupac Amaru, Alejandro "Coco" Garfagnini.
The complaint seeks criminal charges be brought against Macri, the governor Morales and the prosecutor of Jujuy, Mariano Miranda “over making up accusations that the former leader Balconte was carrying bags of money to the city of Olivos," Tupac Amaru said in a statement Monday ahead of filing the suit.
The complaint also says Balconte was coerced by governor Morales, reportedly under the orders of President Macri, into testifying against jailed social activist Milagro Sala, the founder of Tupac Amaru, and other leaders over corruption allegations.
