Another embarrassment for President CFK in the months before her October re-election bid.
After her party's two recent electoral defeats...news that her party's 2003 Supreme Court appointment...Justice Eugenio Zaffaroni, 71...had 6 of his 15 apartments used for prostitution.
Zaffaroni denies knowing they were being used as brothels...but faces a possible ethics investigation.
AND/NO LINK: CFK will raise pensions in September...by 16.8%...making this year's increase 31.7%...with 6.8m pensioners eligible.
ALSO: While many around the world are skeptical about the usd...it is much in demand in Argentina...with 80% of usd purchases by small holders and depositors.
“People feel safer if they keep to dollars instead of Argentine pesos” said an expert.
So far about $10.1b have left Argentina and could reach $11.4b by the end of July.
