SUBJECT: ARGENTINA: DRAFT MISSION RESPONSE TO OPPOSITION 
POLITICIAN'S CLAIM OF U.S.-ARGENTINE NEGOTIATIONS ON MIAMI CASE 
 
REF:  BUENOS AIRES 0124 AND PREVIOUS 
 
1. (U) Action Request -- para 5. 
 
2. (SBU) Argentine opposition leader Elisa Carrio, who was the 
runner-up in the October 28 presidential election with 24% of the 
vote, publicly released a letter to the Ambassador on January 31 
voicing concern about "rumors" that, in order to improve bilateral 
relations, the Embassy had negotiated with the GOA "to moderate, 
hide and compartmentalize evidence related to the prosecution under 
way in Miami." 
 
3. (SBU) Shortly after the announcement of the December 11 arrests 
in Miami of four defendants alleged to be agents of the BRV, Carrio 
had welcomed the U.S. investigation, publicly lauding the 
impartiality and independence of the U.S. judicial system.  She 
asserted then that the U.S. investigation would unearth the source 
and destination of the $800,000 intercepted in August by the GOA. 
Her January 31 letter and public statements indicate she reversed 
course after deciding the U.S.-Argentine rapprochement did not 
accord with her political needs.  The text of her letter follows in 
para 4, and the Ambassador's draft reply (for Washington clearance) 
follows in para 5. 
 
4. (SBU) Embassy informal translation of the January 31, 2008, 
letter to the Ambassador signed by Elisa Carrio and other leaders of 
the opposition "Civic Coalition:" 
 
Dear Ambassador E. Anthony Wayne: 
 
The Civic Coalition, leading opposition force in the Argentine 
Republic, has closely monitored the case involving Alejandro Guido 
Antonini-Wilson who illegally brought a suitcase with US $800,000 
into Argentina and who is under investigation by our justice system 
for money laundering.  This case also prompted the justice system of 
the district of Miami, U.S., to institute proceedings based on the 
collaboration of Alejandro Antonini-Wilson against five citizens, 
four of them from Venezuela and one from Uruguayan origin, alleged 
to be agents operating in the United States. These people were 
accused of operating as foreign operatives with the objective, as 
district attorney Tomas Mulvihill pointed out (case 07-3113-M-DUBE, 
official transcript) of "subverting Argentine justice with false 
evidence to hide the true origin and destination of the money," 
referring to the use of such money, "as being meant for the 
presidential campaign of the eventual winner of the Argentine 
election, Cristina de Kirchner." 
 
From the very first day the Civic Coalition learnt that an 
investigation had been opened by the Justice system in Miami we 
decided to follow the case and even sent two national legislators to 
the trial sessions in the belief that it was highly important for 
Argentina that this case be clarified.  Then, during the session of 
the House of Deputies held in December 19, the Civic Coalition bloc 
voted against the repudiation of the United States prompted by the 
official administration, and that the President of the Nation 
herself had called a "trash operation," since we consider that in 
republican nations the role of the Executive can not be confused 
with that of the Justice system and that repudiation of the United 
States meant ignoring the separation of powers. 
 
It is for the above reasons that we are deeply concerned about 
rumors of alleged complicity between the diplomatic representation 
of the United States and the Argentine government to tone down, hide 
or compartmentalize evidence related to the prosecution underway in 
Miami in order to improve bilateral relations between both 
countries. 
 
The Civic Coalition believes in the independence of the Justice 
system here and in every other country in the world and hopes that 
an accusation as serious as that made by district attorney 
Mulvihill, saying that the purpose was to forge evidence to mislead 
the Argentine justice system about the origin and destination of the 
cash, is not an item for barter and complicity between your 
government and the government of our country. 
 
Both republics must respect the independence of Justice systems and 
should not play with such an important value. 
 
I hope you can clear these doubts for us. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Elisa Carrio, Civic Coalition President 
Adrian Perez and Patricia Bullrich, Civic Coalition's Leaders in the 
National Chamber of Deputies 
 
 
5. (SBU) Action request:  Embassy requests Washington clearance of 
the following draft reply from the Ambassador to the letter above: 
 
Dear Ms. Carrio, National Deputy Perez, and National Deputy 
Bullrich: 
 
Thank you for your correspondence of January 31. 
 
Regarding the concerns that you expressed, I would like to point out 
that the criminal prosecution underway in Miami is against four of 
the five defendants alleged to be agents of the Venezuelan 
government operating in the United States without notifying the 
Attorney General as required by law.  One of the defendants has 
already pled guilty to that charge. It is not an investigation into 
the violation of Argentine laws.  I have attached for your 
information a copy of my January 31 public comments on these 
matters. 
 
The Embassy has not negotiated and would not negotiate to "moderate, 
hide or compartmentalize evidence related to the prosecution in 
Miami in order to improve bilateral relations," nor does it have the 
authority to do so.  As we have said repeatedly in recent weeks, the 
court case in Miami is proceeding independently of any foreign 
policy or political considerations and will continue to do so.  This 
is the way the judicial process operates in the United States. 
 
The separation of powers built into the U.S. constitution, in 
particular the independence of the judiciary, is a hallmark of the 
democratic system in the United States. Maintaining the integrity of 
our courts and our judicial process is vital to our democracy. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
E. Anthony Wayne
