It was US $ 50,000 million that had to give the State to respond to the SIRA. Of course, by finger. Some said that many businesses were done with that, they say. I don’t know if ever any judge will investigate it or not. But to obtain the SIRA, bribes were paid, commissions. Well, then, I hope so … There commissions were paid, in all that. US $ 50,000 million was what the government promised to give so that Argentine industrialists could bring their supplies. That is one of the things that the National Government fixed. ”
