Alfredo Yabran
Topics: Argentine businesspeople
Alfredo Yabran was a powerful businessman in Argentina, with deep links with the government, in particular with the Carlos Saul Menem administration. Among other things, he owned the private courier company OCASA, and the immense EDCADASSA warehouses at the Ezeiza international airport in Buenos Aires.
Yabran was extremely secretive and jealous of his privacy. After the murder of photojournalist Jose Luis Cabezas, who had been investigating Yabran, he was forced to come out in public and face the suspicions of society.
In 1998, at a crucial moment of the murder investigation, Yabran was found dead in one of his houses, with a gunshot through his face, which was nearly unrecognizable.
