Deadly riots followed, forcing de la Rua to flee by helicopter from the rooftop of the presidential palace. De la Rua’s co-defendants include his liaison to Congress, former parliament secretary Mario Pontaquarto, who confessed a decade ago to delivering the money on the orders of De la Rua himself. Pontaquarto said he picked up the $5 million from Argentina’s Intelligence Service, giving $4 million to one senator, Emilio Cantarero, and $1 million to another, Jose Genoud.
