The star witness of the US Federal Attorney General in the
case of the suitcase scandal, Guido Alejandro Antonini Wilson,
will take the stand this week to give evidence in a trial
against Venezuelan businessman Franklin Durán.
Durán has been accused of acting as a foreign agent
for the Venezuelan government to cover up a political cash
scandal.
Antonini, a Venezuelan-US businessman, was carrying the well-known
suitcase stuffed with USD 800,000 coming from the Venezuela
government, presumably for the election campaign of brand-new
Argentinean President Cristina Fernández, Efe reported.
The court action against the Durán, the only one of
the five defendants who has pleaded not guilty, will start
again next Wednesday.
