- Claudio Uberti is a former Argentinian government official who attained political power through personal ties to the former President Néstor Kirchner, becoming head under Kirchner of the Órgano de Control de Concesiones Viales (OCCOVI), the federal agency that regulates highway concessions. During his tenure at OCCOVI, Uberti was also a key figure in the arrangement of trade deals between Argentinian and Venezuelan firms under the Néstor Kirchner and Hugo Chávez administrations. He was described at the time as a sort of “parallel” ambassador from Buenos Aires to Caracas, and was an intimate of both Kirchner and Chávez. Uberti gained prominence a result of the 2007 Maletinazo or "suitcase scandal", in which a suitcase containing nearly $800,000 was seized by Buenos Aires airport police from a passenger on a diplomatic flight of which Uberti was in charge. As a consequence of this seizure, Uberti was ultimately charged with smuggling, money laundering, and the solicitation of bribes. Charges against him were eventually dropped, although an FBI probe concluded that Uberti had been transporting an illegal campaign donation from Hugo Chávez to Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. His nicknames are “Pachi” and “Ubi.” (en)
