On the topic of Espert: anyone who wants to launder money does not do it in a declared account, much less under U.S. jurisdiction, where banking compliance is strict, especially when dealing with a PEP (Politically Exposed Person). Espert, due to his profession, knows these mechanisms very well. The amount of the consultancy sounds high, but it does not seem like a money laundering operation or illegal campaign financing (which is usually done in cash). Furthermore, at the time of the events, the accusations against Machado were not known, and Espert was politically insignificant, having only obtained 2% in the presidential elections. Within Kirchnerism, there are multiple convicted individuals at various levels, and in the opposition, many who have always lived off politics — like most Peronist governors — cannot justify their wealth. There is an attempt to establish that "they are all the same," when they are not. Corruption can exist in any party because there are humans in a corrupt country, but it is different when an investigation is conducted in response to a complaint, compared to when corruption is systemic and covered up, as happened with Kirchnerism. I do not know José Luis or how he handles other matters, but accusing someone of links to drug trafficking based on false grounds seems to me a political-media operation to affect the Government in the midterm election.
