2. You're welcome, Judi. It is huge news - or should be.

But in all likelihood it just won't be, simply because Macri controls most (though not all) the judiciary.

Not unlike (among other cases Argentine courts refuse to touch):
·the Panama and Paradise Papers,
·the Macris' quarter-billion dollar Postal Service debt,
·the Calcaterra/Caputo contracts,
·the dollar futures self-dealing (cashing in on the devaluation while in office),
·the tax amnesty decree favoring family/friends,
·the Arribas/Odebrecht bribery scandal,
·the Avianca/Flybondi airline permits,
·and of course the 4G network giveaway (value: $500 million+) and other sweetheart deals with Clarín.

And now, there's news that Macri's 2015 campaign probably hired Cambridge Analytica to influence the election for them. You'll recall that he won by just 2.7% - so if true, if's entirelyplausible that they swung the election (there was a lot of social media trolling at the time).

I'll try to post something if I find something more specific. Thanks again!
