The first major case of evasion and money laundering in Argentina is uncovered.
Hernán Arbizu, a senior executive of JP Morgan bank, commits a huge scam that comes to light in 2008. In order to avoid extradition to the U.S., he incriminates himself. After confessing to having been involved in eight unlawful money transfers from the accounts of the bank clients, he brings to light the corrupt movements of more than 400 companies and individuals who were evading and laundering money, which represented around 5 billion dollars.
Arbizu used to search for clients and encouraged them to export their dollars without going through tax controls in Argentina, becoming a key player in the gray area of the global economy, and one of the most important managers of Argentina’s debt.
Numerous personalities of the Argentinean political, financial and business scene were involved in the scam. Among them, the Ledesma sugar mill and its owners, the media and services of the group Clarín and all its directors, businessmen of the electricity sector, and even noble families historically suspected of economic crimes, such as the Fortabat clan.
After numerous interviews with the banker and his lawyers, Morgan Papers narrates the best-kept secrets of Argentinean finance and economic crimes, the ins and outs of the global economy, and the most exclusive social circles.
