Corruption and Impunity in Argentina

Join Hudson Institute for a conversation on corruption and impunity in Argentina with the former president and vice president of the country’s financial intelligence unit, Mariano Federici and María Eugenia Talerico. The discussion will be moderated by Adjunct Fellow Marshall Billingslea with Research Fellow Nate Sibley. Argentina’s economy has been devastated by decades of corruption, mismanagement and excessive borrowing, rendering it especially vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic. The economy contracted by 10 percent in 2020 as the poverty rate soared above 40 percent, all ahead of a difficult $45 billion debt renegotiation with the IMF. Those primarily responsible for Argentina’s economic plight also govern with seeming disregard for rule of law. As president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner was implicated in several major corruption scandals, as well as for the brutal murder of a senior prosecutor investigating her alleged role in covering up Iranian terrorism. As vice president, Kirchner now faces multiple prosecutions relating to corruption and money laundering. With public confidence in the justice system at an all-time low, many Argentines view government proposals to reform the judiciary as a naked attempt to shield Kirchner from accountability. Please join Hudson Institute for this timely discussion on how the U.S. and international community can continue to support democracy and the rule of law in Argentina.
