ARGENTINA: The former police agent who discovered the US$800.000 that the Venezuelan Guido Antonini Wilson presumably intended to bring illegally into Buenos Aires in 2007, said on 7 October that the FBI had offered her political asylum and employment in the US. Marí­a Lujan Telpuk confirmed that she received this offer with the condition of modifying her witness statement in the trial that is taking place in Miami against Franklin Duran. Duran is accused of operating in the US as an illegal Argentine secret agent and of trying to stop Antonini Wilson from revealing the origin and intended destination of the money.
