Amado Boudou (Spanish pronunciation: [aˈmaðo βuˈðu] ⓘ; born 19 November 1962) is an Argentine economist and politician who served as the Vice President of Argentina from 2011 to 2015.

[5] The Cantera FC contract resulted in an administrative debacle, however, when the builder abandoned the works in June 2007, having by then received over US$7 million in payments (for which the Mayor never initiated litigation).

[8] Following the ruling Front for Victory's defeat in the June 2009 mid-term elections, Economy Minister Carlos Rafael Fernández tendered his resignation to the President, effective 7 July, and was replaced by the ANSES Director.

[9] Fallout from the 2007–2008 financial crisis later forced the left-wing Argentine government of President Cristina Kirchner to seek domestic financing for growing public spending, as well as for foreign debt service obligations.

These disputes had led to a number of liens against central bank accounts in New York and, indirectly, to reduced Argentine access to international credit markets.

[16] The DAIA accused him of trivializing the holocaust, and Congressman Eduardo Amadeo demanded his resignation;[16] Boudou later stated that this was a badly chosen metaphor.

[22] Boudou again assumed presidential duties for 42 days[23] on 8 October 2013, while President Fernández de Kirchner underwent surgery to relieve bleeding on her brain and convalesced.

[24] The vice president faced accusations of influence peddling in 2012 regarding contracts awarded by the Economy Ministry to Ciccone Printing for the supply of 100 peso bills, license plates, and other government issues.

[26] Following an August 2013 judicial ruling ordering prosecutors to provide evidence of wrongdoing, and their subsequent failure to do so, on 11 September a Federal Court granted a motion by Boudou's attorneys that would allow them to file for a dismissal of charges.

[32] He is jailed at a prison in Ezeiza, alongside other inmates also convicted in corruption cases during the Kirchner government, such as José López and Lázaro Báez.

The attorneys of Núñez Carmona, who was accused along with Boudou, asked Judge Ramos Padilla to investigate if the testimony of Vandenbroele was indeed prepared by members of the AFI and the Ministry of Security.
