Milei candidate admits that he advised trafficking for trafficking

“I said I was interested, but I needed to wait for the end of the electoral process. In 2020, as an economic consultant, I signed a contract with this company,” he said. “After the election, I received an advance linked to this contract, in an account on my name in the US. Nothing to hide,” he said.

Still in the video, the deputy said that in April 2021, he learned from the media about the request for international arrest against Machado, accused by the American court of drug trafficking and fraud in the aircraft trade. “I was shocked. I never imagined that,” he said. He justified that the payments received were not for his campaign as president, but as part of his private consultant activity.

So far, there are at least three criminal complaints against Smart, for alleged connection with drug trafficking. All made by Peronist politicians, Javier Milei’s political opponents. One of the authors of the complaints is the leader Juan Grabois.

Milei calls accusations of ‘dirty campaign’

Javier Milei maintains his support for Smart. The Argentine president stated that the deputy has all his support and classified the complaints as part of a “dirty kirchnerism campaign” amid the electoral climate. “If I believed he’s dirty, I would have already fired,” he said.
