Juan Carlos Rousselot (June 24, 1935 – July 8, 2010) was an Argentine radio and television personality, newspaper publisher, and former mayor of the Greater Buenos Aires suburb of Morón.
[3] Obtaining a loan from the Ministry, he relocated to Resistencia, capital of his native Chaco Province, and purchased an ailing news daily, Diario Norte,[3] persuading his brother, Ricardo, to join him from Chicago.
[5] He later relocated to Mar del Plata[citation needed] and, in the early 1980s, to El Palomar, where he became a member of the local Justicialist Party committee.
[2] Rousselot became known as one of the "twelve apostles" (Peronist figures in politics and labor who supported La Rioja Province Governor Carlos Menem over Buenos Aires Governor Antonio Cafiero for the Justicialist Party presidential nomination in 1988), and unsuccessfully sought the vice presidential nod when Menem was indeed nominated.
The numerous contracts he signed for these projects became the subject of a corruption investigation by the City Council, however, and the 24-person body (in which Rousselot had but four allies), voted to impeach the mayor on April 19, 1989.
