Clarin and La Nacion humiliated us, was a Worry "said Isidoro Graiver By Juan Alonso and Cynthia Ottaviano (Argentine Time) was on 11 June. He argued that from the pages of newspapers the depressed, the price paid "had little connection with reality." In addition, in court acknowledged the link between the three arms with three newspapers. came to the interview with Time Argentino ten minutes after the agreement, at 16:10, 11 June. Smoked, anxious, as it did during the two hours and 12 minutes-long meeting. Graiver Isidoro, 62, brother of David, came to Finisterra bar on the corner of Uriarte and Honduras, Palermo, as we agreed. He walked with a hurried step. We greet you in the door of the bar and sat in one of the tables set up on the sidewalk. It was cold, and the sun shone full on his face. He wore a jean pants, brown shoes, water, jacket black and blue shirt with no tie, unbuttoned the first button. A classic man.
was not, however, the first time we talked. Within three months of the investigative report published this diary in special supplements sold out two editions, Sunday 6 to Wednesday 9 June 2010 - to insist telephone interview. But Isidore, a victim of the slaughter and robbery imposed by blood and fire the last dictatorship and civil partners, 'gently refused. We do not know. He said he was afraid for their children. We believed him. He apologized that it had sealed a pact family, which included burying ghosts of a past that penned them and left them alone. He also believed.
Everything changed with the publication of our work, he said, long before the State confirmed the theft of newsprint. Changed for the better. Isidoro said then: "There is almost nothing wrong." And decided to sit with us. With the fantastic jacket without quitting. About 40 minutes later, agreed to enter the Argentine time writing a coffee in the room of editors, this time with a cigar between his fingers. The news spread like wildfire. "It Graiver Isidoro. Speaks for first time with a journalistic medium, "he commented in sections. Isidoro reiterated his cautious stance of telling the truth about the tragedy that struck his family, under one condition: that not to attribute what he said. Wanted to cooperate with the truth, but does not appear. Again used the familiar argument. And it started to speak: "(The Press Paper) was an operation that was clearly a concern, purely and simply an effort. The daily humiliated us, "and began.
So yesterday, Wednesday 25 August, when requested to read the entire page on Clarín and La Nación, and knew the contents of the letter he wrote to his niece Maria Sol Graiver-Notary Public-published coordinated at the top of the two newspapers that humiliated him 34 years ago, the first thing that surprised us was to agree to a requirement of their former victimizers. Yesterday, when Isidore Graiver contradicted, bowing to pressure from the newspapers accused of committing crimes against humanity in the theft of newsprint, we journalists of this newspaper, we are automatically relieved of the confidentiality agreement with him. Keep it truthfully. Or worse, contribute to the operation of Clarín and La Nación to guarantee the impunity with falsehoods in a case that today is a matter of public interest.
Readers have a right to information. We are obliged to give them. The truth is not ours: it is society. We can not know the secret reasons for changing his statements Isidoro, after an interview with Time. We do not know why, since last week, failed to meet our calls. Only he knows. But it must be something very serious. Perhaps his love for his niece who wants to like a child, not influence. Maybe he was afraid to turn to suffer. Or all together. What we do know is that Maria Sol Graiver last July, "the purchasers of the shares of Papel Prensa SA", ie, newspapers Clarin and La Nacion, "I made a request" means a "request" as they attested by Notary public. We do not know exactly what was that "order." But anything that was severe enough to leave Isidore documented version of the facts, second, that only holds the fallacies of those who yesterday stripped. That evening cold
June, Isidoro told Time his position on newsprint and the alliance of the three newspapers with the three weapons. He said the pressure to wrest Newsprint were "permanent." And gave us a key clue: that we should seek newspaper articles Clarin and La Nacion October 1976, a month before the sale will "trucha" of the actions newspapers, on 2 November. And we said, verbatim: "We engaged the front pages every day, 'the family Graiver, jets." There was a topic of interest, which obviously existed, and also the theme of humiliation. At the time was almost a capitulation of the Unión Industrial Argentina (UIA) against the General Economic Confederation (CGE), at the time of José Ber Gelbard, and had his revenge. Revenge of the patrician families or large companies or banks in which were inserted with force. We destroyed as a business group, because that was the goal, get us off track. Before the death of my brother, was one of stronger economic groups. "
" Something like "not going to let it grow more" - we asked.
"Do not mistake about it, we answered. At some point someone said, "do this." So, nothing was spontaneous and casual.
And between brains was the same Jose Alfredo Martinez de Hoz.
"I have no doubts.
Martinez de Hoz was the Minister of Economy of the dictator Jorge Rafael Videla, the man who had agreed the silencing of the genocide with the daily change of newsprint.
In his own account, Isidoro recognized that after the death of his brother, was Jorge Rubinstein, the attorney for the family and a man of "utmost confidence in David," who was "in charge of all business in Buenos Aires."
The marginalization in decision making and the increasingly important role in Rubinstein, coupled with his habitual mistreatment ended up alienating Isidore of all businesses. The split was sealed with a financial settlement. So Isidore did not name any action to Paper Press. So neither his name nor his firm were necessary in the subsequent transfer. Neither the documents were initialed in the sale. Only participated as an accompanist. Instead, they appear in documents the signatures of his parents, John and Eva, and his sister Lidia Papaleo, representing the interests of his daughter Maria Isidoro Sun explained that the meeting, which ended up giving the pressures and humiliating treatment from the newspapers concerned, was done in the offices of the newspaper. The same in which ensures that Hector Magnetto Lydia said, "Sign or will cost the life of his daughter and yours." They were separated, according to the testimony of Lydia: "David's parents first, to Isidoro (Benito ) Campos Carlos and I with (Hector) Magnetto. " So hard Isidoro able to see and hear everything.
Although the personal letter to her niece, Graiver Isidore says that he was "satisfied that the newspapers have acted according to the military authorities of that time to purchase the company, in court, where he told us to go to get his testimony (which we did), let settled otherwise. To the prosecutor Ricardo Molina, November 6, 1985, said: "In October 1976, Dr. Miguel de Anchorena, then seized Graiver succession, got in touch with his sister (Lydia) to inform him he had received information of Francisco Manrique whose content was, in summary, that the national government would welcome the disappearance of all employer Graiver as such, to which would require the sale of share packages Newsprint, believing that the logical buyers were the Nation newspapers, Clarín and Reason. "The national government, it is clear it was Videla and Martinez de Hoz. And the beneficiaries, Isidore said in court, not before a notary: Magnetto, Mitre and Herrera de Noble.
"The price we received was the best we could get," Isidore said the unusual request yesterday published Clarin and La Nacion. A told us otherwise. We do a quote, again: "The pressure was permanently. The torques were permanent. " Also in court, under democracy, Isidoro said that in a meeting they called him William Gainza Paz, the newspaper La Prensa, made him "an offer he considered totally inadequate and are thus suspended the talks. The situation remained so until the day before the scheduled for the meeting at which had authorized the transfer of blocks of shares purchased by the Group Graiver to the original owners, with the certainty that such transfer would not be permitted (as Mr. Manrique in the meantime had ratified it by Anchorena advance) and there would be a serious risk of not obtaining the refund of the price paid, plus interest and what is spent, that day assembly to take place at noon the doctor came into contact Anchorena to say that the three newspapers mentioned proposed an urgent meeting in order to make an offer to buy shares. "
They had him cornered. The daily Clarin, La Nacion and La Razón operated with confidential information, knowing that that day the military junta does not approve the purchase Graiver Group and therefore it descapitalizaría. "We had a better deal than that accepted by the smallness of the time of agreement," said Isidoro before a judicial authority of democracy. Left them no time. "We were losing at least political rights on the actions, ie all, and the risk of having to return the shares, that is a disgusting thing. Humiliated us, "he told Time.
"You have the means to do it," he said. If you search for files, the record before the operation, in mid-October or so, in the daily Clarín, La Nación and La Razon will see a very suggestive history. Drew daily headlines and front pages Graiver Group news, missing, nonsense, and suddenly for 48 hours did not publish a single line. It was prior to the meeting. "
We
notes, as we requested. He was right. Clarin described as "illegal activities" by the Graiver Group. And he came to devote an editorial in which he cried out to the Military Junta "an investigation required" on Graiver, because "the prestige of the nation would be unacceptably affected if measures are not promoted here," he warned. It is public knowledge, the Board met.
This is the chronology "of humiliation" that spoke Isidoro. While receiving the calls pressuring them to sell, The Nation published on Graiver, 11 October 1976, he was allegedly "involved in the fraudulent bankruptcy of two banks (...) For 150 million dollars. " Four days later deployed a full-page advertisement in the magazine Us, entitled: "The case Graiver", in which they had searched and even asked: "Are you dead ... or not?" That same day, Clarín published Graiver the group "engages in a delicate problem for several banks in Buenos Aires." They were charged with "unofficial information" to use one of its banks "to export capital of Argentina", to "illegal activities", "showing that false statements were made that looked successive an unreal prosperity. " To finish this article, which was not signed by any journalist, said: "not explained (...) how Graiver may have enjoyed impunity."
Nine days later, in the middle of negotiations for the nation were not granted. Referring to David said: "The Argentine millionaire who engages in a gigantic fraud." On 22 October, the issue came to the aforementioned main editorial Clarín. First noted that "the prevailing atmosphere before 24 March (the coup) was the system of administrative corruption," and after describing the illegal operative attributed to the group claimed: "(is) a need for a more thorough investigation." On 28 October, after detailing the "responsibility to Gelbard, argued that the former finance minister of Perón, José Ber Gelbard," was banned, depriving them of political rights and citizenship Argentina ", the Group undertook Graiver , "with obvious links to Gelbard, which won all sorts of perks and privileges, and whose financial dealings have resulted in a scandal of international proportions." With that group, Clarín, La Nación and La Razón sat "to negotiate." It was not a counter. It was a squeeze. The tests are clear. Do not tell us what Graiver Isidore said, now attempts to refute his sister. The more they attacked and demonized Graiver Group, the faster he was forced to dispose of the shares. It was in this climate of "freedom" when state terrorism devoured one person every half hour, in the midst of this psychological campaign that the three newspapers in partnership with the three specific weapons handover. That is, consummated their dispossession.
"Clearly it was an effort, quite simply, a desire. The price clearly had little connection with real value, "he said Isidoro this newspaper in June. And was recorded in this way. Again, the quote is verbatim:
- They used to extort the newspapers and keep the big deal? Mitre, Herrera de Noble and Peralta Ramos published on purpose.
"I think it was a competition. The newspapers used to put that pressure. Both us and the government.
"When we were kidnapped, Newsprint sales already completed," said Isidoro Graiver in the advertisement was published yesterday. Indeed, the shares sold by David's parents (John and Eva) and Lidia Papaleo had to be approved by the judge who was conducting the succession. In other words, everyone was kidnapped while the judge had not approved the transaction. In fact, he never did.
other hand, the other stake that everyone recognizes, including Isidore, who was in the name of Rafael Ianover, the figurehead of Graiver, also had to integrate the collection of succession. But this did not happen. The three newspapers he bought the shares to Ianover without saying how much he paid. They told him that if he signed was not going to pass anything that is not kidnap, they knew they were not his, but David Graiver. As he was kidnapped.
This whole story stinks. There is blood, torture, and there are a lot of money at stake.
This true drama that has three and a half decades of existence continues tail. It solves
justice of democracy. Or the newspapers Clarin and La Nacion that, today as yesterday, lie from their covers and use of sinister way, for their benefit, a family conflict.
Perhaps the change of Isidore Graiver justified in a phrase that stuck with us, as a farewell at the June meeting, now revealed: "I give a damn what they think or stop thinking. Because it is always right wins. "
Hopefully, this time, the truth wins. It
