Máximo Kirchner, the person in charge of the family businesses who inherited the business relationship with Lázaro Báez – Up Jobs News

The link was direct and between the two of them. Nestor Carlos Kirchner and Lazaro Antonio Baez They were friends, they got together to eat barbecues when they coincided in Río Gallegos and they maintained all kinds of million-dollar business operations that used to turn up in the accounting records of Báez’s companies in a simple way: with the initials “NCK”, as confirmed. THE NATION. Until the presidential son burst in, Maximum.

His irruption began at the end of October 2010. That is, when the then President died. For a few more months, the checks that flowed from Báez’s companies to the presidential family through his hotel management firm, Miter Valley, were issued in the name of “NCK” and were incorporated into the inheritance heritage of the former president. But from the moment that Justice issued the declaration of heirs and their assets were distributed, other initials dominated the accounting records of the Báez emporium: “MCK”. Maximo Carlos Kirchner.

It was almost unavoidable. After the death of his father, the eldest son of the presidential couple took over the reins of the family business, while his sister Florencia remained in a secondary role, only interrupted when she joined the board of directors of the Hotesur company, controller of the High Calafate.

That was how Máximo Kirchner began to get involved in the management of the Alto Calafate, Los Sauces, La Aldea and Las Dunas hotels.. And it was the current national deputy, too, who as a citizen without privileges had an office in the firm “Real Estate Business” of Río Gallegos. From there he controlled the collection of rents from the other family properties.

In fact, it was in a drawer of his desk in the real estate agency at 496 Néstor Kirchner Avenue where the Justice officials found evidence of that business relationship. They found invoices, checks, powers of attorney and rental contracts between Báez and Néstor Kirchner, in a business relationship that Máximo continued. And this is stated in the minutes of the judicial search that took place in July 2015.

Now, the federal prosecutor Diego Luciani exposed another edge of the current national deputy. He exposed his participation in government decision-making when it was decided to pave one hundred blocks in his hometown, Río Gallegos, in 2014, with funds from the national State, or the execution of public works in his province, Santa Cruz, in 2015. That is, when he was not an official but merely the son of the then President.

By then, the eventual candidacy of Máximo Kirchner for national deputy was beginning to sound -it would be made official weeks later-, at the same time that he had already become fully involved in the family’s business operations with Báez, Cristóbal López -who rented apartments and garages from the presidential family in the city of Buenos Aires-, Osvaldo Sanfelice and the Relats family, among others..

That commercial protagonism, in particular with the alleged figurehead of his family, was evidenced in the record of that 2015 raid on his offices, and a copy of which he obtained THE NATION:

The findings of the raid did not end there. A brown folder was also seized that on its cover said Calle “Roca 952, 5to, ‘D’” of Río Gallegos, which contained three invoices (186, 171 and 158) “issued by Néstor Carlos Kirchner and Austral Construcciones”. Also, photocopies of checks numbered 01709361 to 01709365. And an ancillary clause between Máximo Kirchner and Báez’s flagship construction company.
