00:00Senator Cuéllar's scandal is already known to be in Asunción del Paraguay.

00:05Of course, Javi was taken from Ciudad del Este.

00:08The scandal continues, not only with Cuéllar, but with his secretary, right?

00:12Exactly, and we know that he is going to stay there in Asunción del Paraguay,

00:17because this is what the justice of that country has arranged,

00:20after having somehow paid the bail, right?

00:25To be able to be in a domiciliary prison, of a million and a half dollars,

00:30sorry, of 150,000 dollars each.

00:34This is the bail.

00:36Of course, 300,000 dollars between the two for ...

00:38The lawyer lent it to him.

00:39That's why.

00:40There is always someone who lends you money.

00:42How nice, don't you have all that cash?

00:43I come to Carencana and I tell you ...

00:45Nobody lends us.

00:46My friend lends me, but he has so much to lend me.

00:48I don't have anyone who can lend me that.

00:50I'll lend you, Cata.

00:51Well, come on.

00:52I'll lend you.

00:53I'm going to Ciudad del Este with Teresa Fretes,

00:56to see how was the departure of the city, precisely, of Senator Cuéllar.

01:00Teresa, how are you?

01:01Good morning.

01:02How are you?

01:03Kindness of the people of the ABC newspaper, so thank you very much.

01:07Yes, good morning.

01:08A greeting, Coriel, for everyone.

01:10The last information that we were able to corroborate with colleagues from Asunción

01:14is that the senator and his secretary are already in the building

01:17where they are going to keep the rest of my family.

01:20in an apartment that they are going to share both.

01:23It is a fairly top apartment in a very luxurious area of Asunción

01:28that has all the comforts, it has a gym, it has a pool, it has a terrace.

01:35It is a fairly nice apartment in the area of Asunción

01:40where they are going to keep the rest of my family,

01:43as stated by Judge Humberto Tazú.

01:47as stated by Judge Humberto Tazú.

01:50After yesterday's hearing,

01:52they had a thematic meeting, first the senator, then his secretary,

01:56and then that determination was made.

01:58That hearing also permits the formalization of the process,

02:02which is the imputation by attempt of smuggling,

02:05both for the senator and for his secretary.

02:08A quick reflection of the Paraguayan justice, right?

02:10Because they are already in Asunción.

02:12The issue is to see how it continues, right?

02:15Yes, the public prosecutor's office formed a team of prosecutors.

02:19That team of prosecutors asked for four months to investigate the case.

02:24They made it clear that at any time they can expand the imputation,

02:29that is, include other possible facts that they can detect,

02:33and even include people who may be involved in those possible facts.

02:38At first it was talked about money laundering and smuggling,

02:42however, for smuggling there has to be a customs dictum

02:47in which it is stated that it was indeed smuggling,

02:50and also for money laundering,

02:52that money has to be linked to an illicit entity,

02:55that is, it has to be proven that it comes from an illicit entity,

02:58but the investigation is still ongoing.

03:01Teresa, I'll pass it to Pablo.

03:03The guys are asking you,

03:04obviously there was a point of inflection with the moment when he was investigated, Pablo, right?

03:09Yes, just like that.

03:10Teresa, I wanted to ask you if you knew,

03:12if you have knowledge of whether any Argentine authority,

03:15basically an ambassador or someone from the embassy,

03:18contacted Quader,

03:20if there was any kind of assistance or assistance,

03:23taking into account, obviously, the important role it has on a political level.

03:29Yes, we do not know where the assistance or assistance came from.

03:32The fact of the matter is that he was detained in the early morning,

03:35that is, he was detained in the early morning

03:37and the prosecutor, just in the afternoon, put his detention on Wednesday.

03:41At noon on Wednesday,

03:43it was already announced that he was going to appear in the public ministry,

03:46and in the public ministry of Ciudad del Este,

03:48about five lawyers appeared,

03:50who were sitting there waiting,

03:52and when they were consulted, they said,

03:54the senators have arrived,

03:56they asked us to come and assist him.

03:58When he arrives, he will decide

04:00with which legal study he feels most comfortable.

04:03So, yes, obviously...

04:04So, five people came to try to help him.

04:06Of course.

04:08Yes, yes.

04:09He was assisted a lot.

04:11He had the best criminal lawyers here in the area,

04:14who even work with lawyers from Asunción.

04:18It was very fast, also,

04:20since the hearing ended,

04:22so that he was given the transfer office,

04:26because he was transferred,

04:27today, early in the morning,

04:28now from Ciudad del Este to Asunción,

04:30to the point that he has already arrived.

04:32Because, normally,

04:34the office has to be sent to the bank,

04:36open the legal account,

04:38confirm the deposit,

04:39but all that was done very quickly,

04:41between yesterday afternoon and tonight,

04:43so that this morning,

04:45they already have the office,

04:47confirming that he can be transferred.

04:50Teresa, how are you?

04:51I greet you, Cata.

04:52I ask,

04:53the politicians in Paraguay

04:55usually have arrests,

04:57like the one that Cuéder and his secretary are going to have,

05:00with PILETA, a BIP arrest,

05:02this BIP treatment,

05:04or is it this Argentine senator

05:06who ran with this luck,

05:08in this case?

05:10Yes, actually, the judge

05:12only has to accept the place,

05:14the place where he must keep the arrest of the person.

05:18It is not that the judge tells him,

05:20in this beautiful apartment you will be,

05:22but that they had to offer

05:24a permanent home in Asunción,

05:26where he could keep the arrest.

05:28So, it is a determination,

05:30that is, the person,

05:32his relative or his lawyer,

05:34were the ones who fixed all that,

05:36because, according to the lawyer César Mírez Superior,

05:39that apartment had to be rented

05:41for this purpose,

05:43so that he could have a home arrest

05:45in that place.

05:46How much do you calculate,

05:48Teresa, that he could stay,

05:50taking into account,

05:52well, obviously, the diffraction,

05:54but mainly because it is a functional,

05:57in this case, an Argentine senator.

06:00Weeks? Months?

06:04I think he will stay

06:06at least a few months,

06:08because in yesterday's hearing,

06:12his defenders asked for

06:14an ambulatory release.

06:16The judge applied a slightly tougher measure,

06:19which is the home arrest.

06:21Now, when he was consulted,

06:23he said, yes, we agree with this arrest,

06:25which means that they are going

06:27to appeal this resolution

06:29and they are going to let him continue the course.

06:31Until there is a new hearing,

06:33until there is a new resolution,

06:35he will remain in a home arrest

06:37as long as the investigation lasts,

06:39which is four months,

06:41unless some kind of strategy

06:43is presented in the next few weeks

06:45and they finally achieve the ambulatory release.

06:48I'm thinking, Teresa,

06:50I ask my colleagues here,

06:52that they know,

06:54because being a senator

06:56who does not give up

06:58and does not give up,

07:00he asks for a license for obvious reasons,

07:03the bank cannot occupy it.

07:05No, of course not.

07:07We are just finishing checking some information.

07:10We are crossing data with Winocur

07:12because there is data that could be happening now

07:15or in minutes,

07:17which has to do with the decision

07:19that the Argentine Senate can make,

07:21or rather the block,

07:24but to respond to what Javi is saying,

07:26until the situation of Cuéllar is resolved,

07:29no one can assume his place.

07:31Therefore,

07:33officialism loses

07:35a senator to vote for him.

07:37Obviously,

07:39if Cuéllar resigns,

07:41even worse.

07:43What is the name of the substitute?

07:45Yes, the one from La Cámpora.

07:47Exactly, a legislator from La Cámpora

07:49who would replace him.

07:51Now I remember the name.

07:53That's why they are already nominating him.

07:55Is there a possibility that he will be thrown out?

07:58Until he is not judged in Paraguay?

08:00Now, in a little while,

08:02we are going to tell you some information

08:04that is being finished cooking right now

08:06in the block of Peronism,

08:08and that is probably going to be

08:10the controversy

08:12that is going to take place next week.

08:14Can he be thrown out

08:16or not?

08:18There may be a contact

08:20from the Senate

08:22with Paraguayan authorities

08:24to tell them,

08:26well, we need to know

08:28what situation we are in

08:30because we have to resolve here.

08:32The information we are receiving

08:34with Pablo is that in a little while

08:36the call is coming

08:38to a session in the Senate

08:40to vote for the expulsion of Cuéllar.

08:42It will be promoted by the Interblock of Peronism.

08:44They are seeing it.

08:46Pablo is finishing checking.

08:48Is it necessary to have extraordinary sessions?

08:50Yes.

08:52Because the Senate can resolve

08:54without extraordinary sessions

08:56because it is a disciplinary issue, right?

08:58Of course.

09:00There is a fragment of the regulation.

09:02But be careful,

09:04because what the regulation says,

09:06Article 95, and that's why I'm telling you

09:08that it says, during the recess,

09:10now we are in recess,

09:12they can meet and study the issues

09:14of their competence,

09:16the internal issues of the Senate.

09:18This is the commissions.

09:20Do you understand?

09:22Only the commissions.

09:24They can only dictate to those

09:26who deal with internal issues of the Senate.

09:28Now, the one who has to call the session,

09:30is Victoria Villarruel.

09:32They can ask, Peronism can say,

09:34gentlemen, I want to call a session

09:36to expel this man.

09:38And well, Victoria Villarruel

09:40is going to grab the paper,

09:42is going to look at it and say,

09:44we call him for February, for example,

09:46and he sends him.

09:48And there begins an institutional conflict.

09:50Yes, they are going to play with time.

09:52Exactly.

09:54But what happens is that you can't decide

09:56if there is no sentence,

09:58even if he is in prison.

10:00No, of course.

10:02If there is no sentence,

10:04but it is unnecessary,

10:06because there is always the presumption of innocence

10:08for anyone, even if it is a horror.

10:10That is in legal terms.

10:12And the expulsion would not be...

10:14Guys, then they expelled the Peronist.

10:16That's why I'm telling you.

10:18They expelled the Peronist,

10:20they left him inside,

10:22and then when everything was getting worse,

10:24he said, take a license,

10:26because otherwise we'll have to expel you.

10:28So what did the Peronist do?

10:30Ah, license. And he took a license for a year.

10:32Then the judge sentenced him for sexual abuse.

10:34I'm not saying not to expel him.

10:36The only thing I'm telling you...

10:38To make the information clear.

10:40Let me free Teresa.

10:42And I'll be back with the information.

10:44Teresa, do you want to close with some data?

10:50I'm not copying it very well.

10:52Well, we free you, Teresa.

10:54So we don't detain you anymore.

10:56Thank you very much for these minutes.

11:00A greeting, a greeting.

11:02Thank you, Teresa.

11:04I want to make a clarification,

11:06so that it is clear.

11:08A senator is for political criteria,

11:10and not for legal criteria.

11:12What we are saying with Javier

11:14is that there is a double standard

11:16with those political criteria.

11:18We saw it yesterday.

11:20They say, run the presumption of innocence,

11:22how are they going to get me out of here?

11:24And it ends up being a slaughterhouse

11:26of corrupts, abusers, and many things.

11:28Congress, deputies and senators,

11:30and now suddenly there is one

11:32that is not convenient for them, and they expel him.

11:34That is what the Peronist raised.

11:36Why is it a political issue

11:38if you have to rely on a legal issue?

11:40No.

11:42No, it's a political issue.

11:44If you have the votes, you can expel him.

11:46Obviously, it would be an institutional scandal

11:48if I want to expel a senator

11:50who has no cause.

11:52But even having the cause,

11:54if you don't have the votes, you can't expel him.

11:58Let's see.

12:00One has to look at how it came

12:02from Alberto de Cristina's hand.

12:04How did he vote now?

12:06Well, he voted in line with the government of my law.

12:08These two things.

12:12They grabbed him and said,

12:14no, I am an official senator,

12:16no, don't grab me, no, I am of my law.

12:18He said it.

12:20But he said it.

12:22But he said it.

12:24Where did he say it?

12:26It is what those who detained him

12:28are testifying.

12:30But it is not written.

12:32It is the opposite.

12:34The dialogue is not expressed.

12:38The guy who detained him

12:40said that he is an official senator.

12:42I will answer you.

12:44I will answer you.

12:46Cata, answer me.

12:48And what did he say?

12:50He said that the guy wanted to grab him

12:52saying that he is a senator of Argentina.

12:54But he didn't say the opposite.

12:56How can he say the opposite if he doesn't exist?

12:58Pablo, if you didn't leave the street...

13:00He didn't leave the street.
