José María Nuñez Carmona is an Argentinian businessman and entrepreneur who is a business partner and close friend of Amado Boudou, the Vice President of Argentina.
The firm was bought in September 2010 by The Old Fund, a company run by Núñez Carmona's friend Alejandro Vandenbroele, and it was charged that Vandenbroele was in fact a front for Boudou and Núñez Carmona,[1] with the latter acting as a middleman in the secret acquisition of the printing firm, whose name was changed after the purchase to Compañía de Valores Sudamericana (CVS).
[2] Núñez Carmona is nicknamed “Nariga.”[3] He attended Instituto Arzobispo José Antonio de San Alberto in Mar del Plata, where he was a classmate and close friend of Boudou.
[4] Núñez Carmona also owned a firm called Action Media, which earned a great deal of money from government advertising.
Founded in October 2005 by Sandra Rizzo and Cesar Forcieli, the firm made nearly a million dollars in ad income from Telam, the Argentinian government's official news agency.
She told Rivolo that her husband and Núñez Carmona ran a “ghost consultancy” in Puerto Madero that handled “money bribes” and that was a front for Boudou.
[14] It was reported on October 20, 2013, that a case against “Boudou and others” for illegal enrichment was on the desk of Judge Lijo, and that the “others” included Núñez Carmona, Kampfer, and Vandenbroele, as well as Juan Carlos López, Sandra Viviana Rizzo, Fabián Hugo Carosso, Hugo Nicolás Carosso, and Pable Pellet Lastra.
[5] It was reported on June 17 that Guillermo Reinwick had filed a new complaint, stating that Núñez Carmona had told him: “If you touch the Vice President, I'll set fire to your kid.” This accusation, which Reinwick had first made in testimony before Judge Lijo in the Ciccone case, was being handled as a separate case by Federal Judge Marcelo Martinez De Giorgi.
[23] Lijo stated on July 11, 2014, that he had determined that Vandenbroele had indeed been a front man for Boudou and Núñez Carmona, and tried them all on charges of bribery and irregular negotiations.
