The repentant Leonardo Fariña testified today in the trial for the purchase of the “El Entrevero” field in Uruguay, and assured that all the defendants in the case “knew that the investor was Lázaro Báez” and he disassociated the businessman Carlos Molinari from that operation, convicted in the “K money route” case.
“All the defendants knew that the investor was Lázaro Báez. Molinari had no participation. He is clearly using his figure to justify my relationship with Báez and the other people,” Fariña said.
For that 152 hectare field, located between José Ignacio and La Barra, 14 million dollars were paid. However, Fariña revealed that in reality there were payments of more than 16 million. “According to the deed, 14,109,340 dollars were paid, but if we add what does not appear in the papers we arrive at 16 million dollars. “They told me that the field was worth 16 or 16.5 million,” said the repentant.
Among the amounts that did not appear in the papers, always according to Fariña, are transfers and the deposit that originated the operation. “The deposit was made in cash, I ordered Goff Davila to deliver the money, but (Antonio) Demarco did it. It was 500 or 600 thousand dollars,” he explained.
Several companies and Báez front men participated in the operation to try to hide the true owners. When he declared himself repentant, Fariña said that the Uruguayan company Traline SA was used (Maximiliano Acosta was the president and then a general disposition mandate was granted to Maximiliano Goff Dávila). When he distanced himself from Báez, in April 2011, the field was left in the name of another company called Jumey SA, chaired by accountant Daniel Pérez Gadín.
Acosta, who was one of the witnesses of Fariña’s marriage to Karina Jelinek, declared last week that “the investors were hidden” and that Goff Dávila “was very secretive.” Furthermore, he said that he only found out that Báez was behind the business at the end of 2011, when he had already been fired from the operation. He said that Maximiliano Goff Dávila, another of the defendants, told him the information.
Fariña gave another version when he testified in the case.
In addition to Fariña and Báez, the lawyer Jorge Chueco, the accountant Pérez Gadín, Maximiliano Acosta, Maximiliano Goff Dávila, the financier Santiago Carradori and Osvaldo Guthux are being tried in this trial.
Regarding Carradori, the repentant especially highlighted his participation. “I have nothing against Carradori, but he was part of a business. It has already been proven that he traveled in November 2010 to acquire Sambers & Hantarex, that company that they denied existed,” he said.
Fariña’s investigation will continue next Monday, when it will be submitted to questions from all parties.
In the Entrevero trial, the purchase of land in the department of Maldonado, valued at USD 320 thousand, is also judged. Traline SA and then Jumey SA intervened in that operation. The property was paid in three installments: 1) on February 24, 2021, the firm Danifort International Corp paid USD 49,987, 2) the same firm made another payment of USD 49,987, 3) on August 16, 2011, another company transferred another USD 99,955. “It is unknown how the remaining balance was implemented,” said prosecutor Guillermo Marijuán when he requested the elevation to trial.
Finally, Maximiliano Goff Dávila is tried for the purchase, “on commission”, of an apartment located on Avenida del Libertador and Silvio Ruggieri, for which USD 800 thousand would have been paid, although its current value would far exceed that figure.
