"Magistrate Sergio Torres opened an investigation on suspicion that the Argentine government had paid 5 to 6 million dollars in excess for each aircraft, which would add up to 100/120 million dollars. Aerolineas Argentinas and the government rejected the claims arguing that in effect the original price was 30.6 million for each unit and the additional 4.3 million was the result of spares and pilots’ instructions.
The situation set off alarm bells in the aircraft industry and a warning from United States SEC office to which the Brazilian government responded by opening an internal investigation..."


Now where do you think that a good part of the excessive purchase price went. It wouldn't be into the pockets of any Argentines associated with the purchase , would it?
 
At the same time, the government will not let LAN purchase new planes to increase their services.
