Federico Elaskar is an Argentinian businessman who has been implicated in a web of financial-corruption scandals, known as Lázarogate, surrounding the administrations of that nation’s current president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and of her late husband and predecessor, Nestor Kirchner, and centering on the Kirchernite businessman Lázaro Báez.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =Clarin )〕 By 2010, when he was in his mid-20s, Elaskar had already been a principal in several international firms and had accumulated considerable personal wealth. In an April 2013 television interview, he described at length his role in an international scheme to launder money for Báez and other leading figures in the Kirchner circle. After the interview, however, he claimed that he had been lying. One report stated that Elaskar was “perhaps the key piece” in the entire history of corruption involving persons connected to the Kirchner regime.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =Apertura )〕 ==Career== Elaskar was an employee of Droguería Vademécum S.A., whose president was Marcelo Emilio Elaskar and whose director was Paris Elaskar. He then became deputy director of ATC Argentine Trust Company SA and worked for the advertising company Latin Minds SRL Constitución.〔 Elaskar began his work in finance in 2009 as director and CEO of Vanquish Capital Group S.A., a firm that was involved in financial services, international commerce, and real estate transactions. Elaskar formed the firm on May 28, 2009, at age 24, with a start-up capital amounting to 200,000 pesos.〔〔 From Vanquish, according to an April 21, 2013, investigative report by ''Clarín'', Elaskar went to the firm SGI,〔 commonly referred to as “La Rosadita.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =Clarin )〕 The firm’s various names and its existence in multiple countries have caused some confusion regarding its exact origins and the precise nature of Elaskar’s relationship to it. ''Clarín'' reported that a firm called SGI Ventures LLC, with offices in Miami, Buenos Aires, and Mendoza, Argentina, was registered in Miami by Matias Molinari.〔 Another source has stated that on September 8, 2009, Elaskar became a partner, director, and CEO of Southern Globe Investments Argentina (SGI) Bursátil Sociedad de Bolsa S.A., and that Elskar himself formed the firm with a start-up capital of 320,000 pesos. This same source indicates that Elaskar formed SGI Inversiones y Participaciones S.A. in 2011 with a start-up capital of one million pesos.〔 Yet another source suggests that Elaskar was involved in SGI as early as 2008, with SGI North America LLC being registered in Florida in May 2008 under the joint directorship of Elaskar and Ivanhoe Smester. SGI Ventures LLC, according to this source, was registered in Florida on December 6, 2010, with Elaskar, Matias Molinari, and SGI Argentina SA listed as directors. ''Clarín'' stated in its April 21, 2013 report that it had concluded from its investigation that Elaskar is part of a Miami-based “business network” centered on Molinari’s father, the Argentinian politician Carlos Molinari, a political ally of the Kirchners and a contributor to the U.S. presidential campaign of Barack Obama. At the time of ''Clarín''’s report, Elaskar was a shareholder in North America LLC and Conway SGI Capital LLC. ''Clarín'' noted the participation in both these firms of Smester, who had been convicted in the U.S. of mortgage fraud.〔 According to corporate records, Elaskar was also Managing Member of a firm called Conway Global, which was registered as an LLC in Florida on December 6, 2011, and dissolved on September 28, 2012. His fellow director was Smester. Elaskar was also the Manager of Dunamis One Limited Liability Company, registered in Florida on February 16, 2012, and also now inactive.〔 On February 3, 2011, Elaskar became director of Assure Investments Limited, registered in the U.K. on June 25, 2010. His predecessor in this position was identified as “Michael Clifford,” a name that Juan Gasparini, in his 2013 book about the corruption of the Kirchner regime, identified as a “prestanombre,” or front name, which had appeared in the filing records of more than 1400 companies, and which might or might not be the name of a real person. Elaskar registered Avida Capital Markets Corporation in Florida on August 30, 2011, and dissolved it on September 28, 2012.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Federico Elaskar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
