Since he resigned that position in 2009, Jaime has been charged in dozens of criminal cases with such crimes as embezzlement, irregularities in awarding subsidies, abuse of authority, misappropriation of public funds, and conspiracy.

[1] In 2015 Jaime received an 18-month sentence for accepting bribes from the former train operator Trenes de Buenos Aires during his time as Secretary of Transport.

After Kirchner was elected governor, he appointed Jaime Minister Secretary General of the Interior for the province, a position he held until 1996.

[4] “There are few records of his life in Córdoba,” wrote La Nación in 2005, adding that officials in that province refused to provide information about Jaime's professional history there.

[6] In the wake of numerous allegations of corruption against him, Jaime resigned three days after the government's defeat in the general elections of June 28, 2009.

[11] In 2009, Manuel Garrido, former Prosecutor of Administrative Investigations, accused Jaime of profiting from the overpricing of rail cars and of taking weekend flights to Brazil on private jets at the expense of companies that received government subsidies.

[14] In 2010, Jaime had to answer charges as to why he had disobeyed an injunction imposed by a federal judge in Corrientes, Carlos Soto Davila, who had stopped the privatization of the General Urquiza Railway rail corridor connecting the provinces of Buenos Aires and Misiones.

[14] The e-mails were described as an “X-ray of corruption.”[19] The news of their existence caused the “transport world” to be “convulsed, almost in shock.”[11] The e-mails, which as of November 2010 were being studied by “at least four judges,” illuminated among other things Jaime's “feverish negotiations with Spanish and Argentine transportation firms” in 2005 as part of a Kirchner government effort to obtain funds for that year's election campaign.

[20] Some of the e-mails also revealed Jaime's illegal acquisition of cars and his receipt of millions in commissions on the purchase in Spain and Portugal of railway parts.

[1] Jaime went on trial in December 2011 before Judge Oyarbide on charges of having allowed the Teba company, which owned Retiro railway station, to pay the rent for two apartments in which he lived between 2003 and 2009.

[1] A news report stated in July 2013 that research by Argentine authorities was uncovering “some fun facts about Jaime’s money-management customs.” The report noted his preference for cash, often in bags and hidden safes, and indicated that Jaime had put in the trunk of one of his daughters two bags full of incriminating papers or saving bonds.

In his apartment on Avenida del Libertador, investigators found a black briefcase containing $24,820, a bag containing 10,000 euros, a box containing 40,000 pesos, and stacks of cash amounting to $10,200 and $20,000 each.

[28] As of July 15, 2013, he was considered a “fugitive from justice.”[14] On that same date, federal prosecutor Maximiliano Hairabedian in Córdoba issued his own order for the capture and arrest of Jaime, who was scheduled to go on trial in his court on July 30[29] on charges relating to his alleged attempt to steal materials that were about to be put into evidence in another case.

[33] In September 2013, Jaime was found guilty in a Federal Court in Córdoba of attempting to steal evidence and received a suspended sentence of six months in prison.

[40] In October 2012, a federal judge indicted Jaime on charges of abuse of authority in a case involving the death of 51 people in a train crash in February of that year in the Once railway station.

The subtitle describe Jaime as “the face of corruption in the Kirchnerist Era.” The publisher described the book as a “snapshot of corruption in the Kirchner era” and called Jaime “part of the collecting machinery created by Néstor Kirchner to expand his political influence.” The book was “the result of three years of journalistic research based on dozens of interviews, hundreds of thousands of court documents and e-mails to Manuel Vázquez,” which lay bare Jaime's role “in a well-oiled illegal collection system that had the complicity of business and the protection of his old friend Néstor Kirchner.”[9] Lavieri discovered that one businessman, Claudio Cirigliano, paid for Jaime's private air trips and another, Néstor Otero, paid his rent on Avenida del Libertador.

[37] He is known for wearing large amounts of gold jewelry purchased from his illicit money laundering and corruption activities.
