The legality purchase of 2 million dollars that made the former president Néstor Kirchner, was controversial. It happens in 2008 when his wife, Cristina Fernandez, was already the Argentina president, at the beginning of the world crisis.
However, the purchase would be legal because anyone can buy foreign exchange to $ 2 million if that person can justify it, but Néstor Kirchner, in this case has information that could be used for personal gain. “
Lawyers in criminal law ‘questioned the possibility that the conduct attributed to the former president could fit into any figure of the Criminal Code, but said anyway it would be an illegal action and socially reprehensible. “
This case in United States is punishable and is called inside information, but in Argentina is only an administrative offense.
