Following the resumption of the Miami's trial in the suitcase scandal, Venezuelan businessman Guido Antonini Wilson declared that there was indeed additional USD 4.2 million targeted at Argentina.

During his testimony, he mentioned Diego Uzcátegui, the former chair of state-run oil company Petróleos de Venezuela (Pdvsa) in Argentina. Antonini Wilson said that shortly after being caught with the suitcase filled with USD 800,000 in cash, Uzcátegui asked him about the additional amount of USD 4.2 million. Therefore, it was confirmed that the plane carried more money than the cash seized in the Argentinean airport.

Antonini Wilson also stated that Argentinean businessman Claudio Uberti invited him to talk about the plans to lay a gas pipeline from Venezuela to Argetina.

Antonini Wilson, a US-Venezuelan citizen living in Miami, arrived in Buenos Aires on August 4, 2007, with the controversial suitcase in his hands. However, it seems that the cash did not belong to him but to Pdvsa, as evidenced in the ongoing trial in Miami.

In his first appearance at the lawsuit on Tuesday, Antonini Wilson gave testimony at the Miami courthouse.
