Ricardo Jaime, former Secretary of Transportation, reported being subject to persecution and accused newspaper Clarín of wanting to bribe his former son in law, Sebastian, former husband of his daughter.
“I am available to investigators,” the former kirchnerist official said, regarding the case against him on alleged illicit enrichment.
Jaime said today that “he is being subjected to persecution.”
“I’ve changed my decision of not to speaking because it has to do with something that, in my opinion, is extremely serious and I want to let know why I think I’m being subjected to persecution,” the former official said at a press conference.
The multi-accused former secretary said that from 6 April, 2010, a journalist from Clarín newspaper, Omar Lavieri, began writing to his daughter’s ex husband. “I am writing to know wether you would like to give some information. We don’t usually offer money, but it can be discussed,” the journalist would have said over email, according to Jaime.
Jaime reported that Clarin’s journalist offered a 32-inch LCD and a job at the newspaper’s editorial department in Cordoba in exchange for information about the case.
“Let me know if the offer interests you,” read Jaime. “We definetly have to meet.”
“There is a destruction campaign against me. I can bear it because I am a political man, but family members and Sebastian’s relatives can’t,” said Jaime. “This is a bribe, wanting to ‘buy’ him with jobs, TV screens, with some awards. The courts should be conducting the investigation. If the media has something to add, they should do it through the justice,” he concluded.
