The Chavez & Kirchner suitcase scandal :: CSP
Early on the morning of Saturday August 4th 2007, a Cessna plane 750 X with license N 5113 S, property of "Royalclass" company arrived at Buenos Aires' Newberry airport (Aeroparque) in Argentina. The aircraft had taken off from Maiquetía international airport near Caracas, Venezuela and landed in Buenos Aires two days before an official visit by Chávez . The passengers on the plane were seven Argentine and Venezuelan oil officials. Some of them had been in Caracas negotiating the bond and gas plant deals. When having to pass through Customs, most of the passengers made it without problems, except one, Venezuelan/American, Guido Antonini Wilson who told authorities that his briefcase was full of "books". When searched, officials found it was stuffed with $790,550 in non-declared unmarked $50 bills. [1]
