Federal Judge Sergio Torres today indicted former vice president — and current political pariah — Amado Boudou for allegedly defrauding the state by having the Economy Ministry purchase 19 luxury cars it didn’t need during his tenure as minister. According to Torres, there’s enough evidence to conclude that in December 2009, Boudou ordered an arbitrary and unfounded purchase of the luxury vehicles through a private auction. In his ruling, Torres argued skipped the legal procedure to get the vehicles and even paid a higher price than the “market value for corporate purchases” at the time. One of the cars was used by Boudou for his personal use as vice president for almost two years when he was Vice President, even though they had been bought for the Economy Ministry, according to Infobae. While we’re at it, let’s take a look back at the other two cases that have the former Vice President in hot water and one where he was left off the hook, just to give him a break.
