breaking news - Arg. Government takes full operative control of AR
http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1072592
Local press is reporting that the Argentine Government, using a recent ruling by a Federal Court, has taken full operational control of Aerolineas Argentinas by designating an interim CEO who will report to the Secretary of Transportation.
Seems like this should lead the way to the Marsans boys getting booted out sooner than expected....

The lower house of Congress passed the expropriation bill for AR...... only the Senate is now needed to implement this. Stay tuned...
