What's In Your Luggage?

Alejandro Antonini flew from Caracas to Buenos Aires on a private jet paid for by Argentina's state energy company, arriving at 2:45am with $800,000 of undeclared cash in his suitcase. When the "bomba" above caught him with the cash, he decided to abandon it rather than pay half in fines. Why he was there, where the cash was from, and who it was going to were the subject of a long investigation by all of us in the Buenos Aires bureau and a handful of colleagues in the U.S. The link to our much-longer-than-normal story is attached to the title.
