Frigate Libertad is held in Ghana over bondholder lawsuit
Wednesday, October 03, 2012
By Ana Baron
The
order of the Superior Court of Ghana that yesterday detained the
Frigate Libertad in Puerto Tema at the request of the vulture funds is
clear. “The Accused (the Foreign Ministry of Argentina), its officials,
agents ... including the capital of the Ship, Pablo Lucio Salonica, and
the crew are prohibited from moving the frigate ARA Libertad from
Puerto Tema without a new order from this court,” it says. And it adds
that the authorities of the port must retain all of the ship’s
documentation, be it electronic or printed.
More still, the order – which Clarin obtained – says that members of the crew must surrender to the authorities of the port.
The
port of Tema, where the Frigate is detained, is in Accra, the capital
of Ghana, which is a former English colony situated in Africa, on the
shores of the Atlantic Ocean.
The
plaintiffs, NML Capital Ltd of Elliott Management, and Huntlaw
Corporate Service, a group that legally represents every kind of
investment funds, asked for the detention of the Frigate in an attempt
to collect on rulings that they’ve obtained in their favor in the courts
of New York.
The goal is to attach the Frigate.
During
the hearings that will take place starting together the Argentine
government could obtain the release of the Frigate by paying bail. But
it is still very early to know what the judicial decision will be or
what amount the bail could come to.

A DEVIOUS ATTACK BY THE VULTURE FUNDS AGAINST ARGENTINA
Buenos Aires, Wednesday, October 3, 2012
(See PDF Attached)
The vulture funds
have crossed a new limit in their attacks on the Argentine Republic.
The Frigate Libertad has been held in the Republic of Ghana over a
recourse presented by NML Group before the courts of that country. The
Argentine Foreign Ministry has already taken steps with the African
nation’s government to clear up the deception that the unscrupulous
financiers have mounted. That measure is in violation of the Vienna
Convention on diplomatic immunity.
The vulture fund
NML has its headquarters in the Cayman Island, a fiscal lair that it’s
worth recalling is a colony of Great Britain, from which those who don’t
submit themselves to the laws of any jurisdiction operate and they’ve
been denounced both by the G-20 and the United Nations.
The NML Group
belongs to international speculator Paul Singer and he is the main
financier of the lobby that operates in the courts and the Congress of
the United States with the name “ATFA” (Task Force Argentina) to damage
our country. Also, they disseminate false information for the use of
some Argentine monopolistic press media, with the goal of extorting
Argentina in order to obtain usurious profits from buying Argentine
bonds for pennies during the 2001 crisis and refusing to join the 93% of
the investors that agreed to the debt restructuring.
That group of
lobbyists are the same that tried to harass the President during her
recent trip to the United States passing out aggressive fliers against
the presidential investiture. Another of its actions was to place a
gigantic rat in the doorway of the Argentine embassy in Washington when
the anniversary of our independence was being celebrated.
The Foreign
Ministry reiterates that it is the decision of President Cristina
Fernández de Kirchner to not bow before the international and local
attempts at extortion that have been brought forth by the vulture funds
and will continue to denounce them in various forums such as the G-20,
the United Nations, CELAC, UNASUR and MERCOSUR, FATF and the other
multilateral organizations.

Argentina is not paying part of its debt today
Wednesday, October 03, 2012
By Ignacio Olivera Doll
The
Moody’s ratings agency made it very clear yesterday that it sees it as
very likely that it will finally determine a lowering of the rating
assigned to Argentina’s debt – after having changed its perspective to
“negative” last week – for the continuation of some policies that put
its capacity to pay in doubt.
The
agency believes that the adulteration of official statistics, which
affect yields on bonds indexed by the official inflation index, and the
decision to leave the debt with the Paris Club unpaid, describe in large
part the debt profile that the Argentine government represents as an
emitter. And that they could be a sign of the commitment that the
current administration could assume towards its creditors in a more
complicated macroeconomic scenario, as is already being predicted.
“What
we put forth is this: if with record commodities prices and historic
public revenues give Argentina the luxury of not paying its debt, what
will happen in the medium term if those revenues fall?” warned Gabriel
Torres, the sovereign director for the agency.
