As part of the investigation into the alleged existence of a court table, The Intelligence Bicameral of Congress summoned Marcelo Villegas to testify next Wednesdaywho was Minister of Labor during the management of María Eugenia Vidal in the Province of Buenos Aires.
At first, the former official must explain his or her role in the court table and also the scope of his statements, recorded in a video, about the desire to have a “Gestapo“anti-union. “We corroborate that Villegas actually directly involved the Attorney General,” they indicated.
According to reports from the Bicameral, the parliamentary body in charge of investigating the meeting of the alleged court table at Bank province in 2017, Villegas’ summons was resolved after hearing the testimony of Julio Conde Grant, attorney for the Province of Buenos Aires.
According to what has been reported, Conte Grand denied the involvement and also assured that he is not responsible for what the former minister said at the time. The president of the Bicameral and deputy of the Frente de Todos, Leopoldo Moreau, warned that one of the two “lacks the truth.”

Conte Grand’s “unconvincing” arguments
At the beginning of the hearing, the Bicameral Commission showed the official the part of the footage in which Villegas alludes to the Attorney General to “promote a legal case.” After seeing the video, he only managed to answer that he will not be responsible for the sayings.
Despite the fact that the legislators insisted that everything seemed to be part of an agreement, the prosecutor maintained that what is heard by the former minister “is at your own risk.” On the other hand, he tried to justify that meetings of this type between businessmen and officials were “usual.”
In another section of the hearing, Conte Grand admitted that he had been several times in the buildings of the AFI (Federal Intelligence Agency). In this case, he explained that they were meetings with Gustavo Arribas and Silvia Majdalani in the framework of preparations for the G-20 summit.
In line with this topic, again to the surprise of those present, he declared that the entity had given him an encrypted cell phone in case there was “an emergency with federal causes” and to communicate with the Directorate of Judicial Assistance in Complex Crimes and Organized Crime.
