Antonini's case is a CIA operation

“The operation (of Antonini Wilson's suitcase) itself was a CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) operation”, said Luis Bilbao, Argentinean journalist and Director of the America XXI magazine, regarding the suitcase with 800 thousand dollars' case that was seized by Argentinean authorities to the businessman Guido Antonini Wilson. During an interview offered to the program En Confianza, broadcast by the television state-owned channel Venezolana de Television (VTV), Bilbao stated that as part of his research on this case, the first hypothesis he developed about this case is that the operation was thought by the North American Central Intelligence Agency. “Since the first moment I posed my first hypothesis, I knew the operation was a CIA's plan. I do not have any doubt of it”. Another hypothesis, which also involves the CIA, is that Antonini Wilson is an agent of that agency and that inside Argentinean Government there are people working for the CIA, he commented. He added that there are a lot of dark elements which indicates a direct intervention of the CIA in this case, for example the way the things happened, the already known friendship between the Wilson and the Venezuelan former President Carlos Andrés Pérez, whose name appears at the CIA lists as a collaborator. Regarding this last issue, Bilbao reminded that “everybody” knows that Carlos Andrés Pérez since 60s is part of the CIA's payroll. This was confirmed by Philip Agee, a former CIA agent, in his book where he published “all the names of the Latin American politicians and leaders that were part of the payroll. Carlos Andrés Pérez was among them”. The Argentinean journalist reported that the suitcase operation and its consequences are part of a CIA conspiracy, which tries deliberately to brake the stability, first, of the Venezuelan Government, and second, but not less important, the Argentinean Administration. Regarding the alleged statements of Moisés Maionica pleaded guilty in both charges, Bilbao stressed that these statements are pretty confusing, because Maionica, said he was innocent at the start of the trial, “one month later he says he is guilty”. Bilbao noted that the CIA made things for sure to make Maionica admit his alleged guilt and that it is very possible that during this month he was tortured, at least psychologically, to make him change his declaration. He also said that this case has to be studied in deep.
