The Special Investigative Commission and the Ítalo case: a parliamentary investigation into the dictatorship’s economic illicit acts during the democratic transition (1983-1985)

The democratic government of Raúl Alfonsín (1983-1989) took office within a framework of broad political and economic restrictions. One of the main ones was the foreign debt, an issue that sparked a debate on economic illicit activities and which has received less historical research. In this paper,...

One of the main ones was the foreign debt, an issue that sparked a debate on economic illicit activities and which has received less historical research. In this paper, we prioritize this debate by highlighting the role of the Investigative Commission that investigated the allegedly illicit process of nationalization of the Ítalo energy company. We argue that the Ítalo case was a product of the government’s initial emphasis on investigating the dictatorship’s economic illicit activities, although it was ultimately dismissed and forgotten due to the lack of concrete political support. El gobierno democrático de Raúl Alfonsín (1983-1989) asumió funciones en un marco de amplias restricciones políticas y económicas. Una de las principales fue la deuda externa, cuestión que disparó un debate sobre su legitimidad en el marco más general de los ilícitos económicos y que cuenta con menos estudios historiográficos. En el trabajo jerarquizamos ese debate tomando la particularidad del papel de la Comisión Investigadora que indagó en el proceso supuestamente ilícito de estatización de la empresa de energía Ítalo. Según sostenemos, el caso Ítalo muestra fue producto del énfasis inicial del gobierno a la investigación de los ilícitos económicos de la dictadura, aunque finalmente fue desestimado y olvidado ante la falta concreta de apoyos políticos. O governo democrático de Raúl Alfonsín (1983-1989) assumiu o cargo em um contexto de amplas restrições políticas e econômicas. Uma das principais foi a dívida externa, uma questão que desencadeou um debate sobre sua legitimidade dentro da estrutura mais geral de irregularidades econômicas e recebeu menos estudos historiográficos. Neste artigo, destacamos esse debate, tomando o papel específico da Comissão de Inquérito que investigou o processo supostamente ilícito de nacionalização da empresa de energia Ítalo. Argumentamos que o caso Ítalo foi um produto da ênfase inicial do governo em investigar as atividades econômicas ilícitas da ditadura, embora tenha sido eventualmente descartado e esquecido devido à falta de apoio político.
