I am actually very surprised considering all these fancy operatives (pulpo, Anti pulpo, lambí, oysters Rockefeller, etc) against the corruption of the previous administration. Weren't the planes purchased in the Fernandez administration?

Yes the planes were purchased in ex-president Fernandez third term. I was surprised when charges were brought up since kick backs and graph aka bribes is the status quo the world over when the government acquires big ticket items.
