(CNN Español) — Entre los cientos de propuestas, desregulaciones y cambios que presentó el nuevo presidente de Argentina, Javier Milei, se encuentra una iniciativa de blanqueo de capitales y activos, que fue incluida en el voluminoso proyecto de ley que envió al Congreso y que resulta muy atractivo para quienes decidan declarar hasta US$ 100.000 porque no se les cobrará ninguna penalidad.“Es un blanqueo muy amplio, muy generoso respecto de los bienes que pueden ser susceptibles de exteriorizar y también muy abarcativo en cuanto a los sujetos que están llamados a incorporarse al régimen”, sostiene el contador Alberto Mastandrea, experto en impuestos nacionales e internacionales y profesor universitario. Es que este “Régimen de Regularización de Activos” aplica por igual a los residentes y extranjeros al 31 de diciembre de 2023 y permite la posibilidad de regularizar dinero en efectivo, inmuebles, criptomonedas u otros activos financieros.Además, se permite regularizar bienes qu...

NEW YORK (AP) — More U.S. hospitals are requiring masks and limiting visitors as health officials face an expected but still nasty post-holiday spike in flu, COVID-19 and other illnesses.While many experts say this season likely won’t prove to be as deadly as some other recent winters, it still could mean hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and many thousands of deaths across the country.New York City last week instituted a mask mandate for the city’s 11 public hospitals. Similar measures were ordered last week at some hospitals in Los Angeles and Massachusetts. Some hospitals reinstated masking rules for employees months ago, in anticipation of a seasonal rush of sick people.Flu and COVID-19 infections have been increasing for weeks, with high levels of flu-like illness reported in 31 states just before Christmas. Updated national numbers are to be released Friday, but health officials predict infections will grow in many states well into January.“What we’re seeing righ...

NEW YORK (AP) — Previously sealed court documents related to Jeffrey Epstein are now being released. The documents are being unsealed on a rolling basis, with two being held back until at least Jan 22.The records may include the names of those who worked for Epstein or only had weak ties to the financier, as well as potential victims and witnesses, Nexstar's NewsNation reports. Appearing on the list does not mean someone is connected to any wrongdoing.It's not immediately clear who is named in the first set of documents released, but social media has been rife in recent weeks with posts speculating that it will include a list of clients or co-conspirators of Epstein, the jet-setting financier who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.There is no such list and the truth is less scandalous.Previously sealed court documents related to Epstein will be released starting Wednesday, but the great majority of those whose names appear in the documents aren't ...

Trump asks US Supreme Court to overturn Colorado ruling barring him from ballot over Jan. 6 attack

By NICHOLAS RICCARDI (Associated Press)DENVER (AP) — Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a ruling barring him from the Colorado ballot, setting up a high-stakes showdown over whether a constitutional provision prohibiting those who “engaged in insurrection” will end his political career.Trump appealed a 4-3 ruling in December by the Colorado Supreme Court that marked the first time in history that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was used to bar a presidential contender from the ballot. The court found that Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol disqualified him under the clause.The provision has been used so sparingly in American history that the U.S. Supreme Court has never ruled on it.Wednesday’s development came a day after Trump’s legal team filed an appeal against a ruling by Maine’s Democratic Secretary of State, Shenna Bellows, that Trump was ineligible to appear on...
