instead went into hiding. Attempts to locate him, including raids on several of his residences in Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and elsewhere, were unsuccessful. Jaime's lawyer, Andrés Marturián, stated that Jaime was not cooperating with the arrest warrant issued by Bonadio because it was “arbitrary and not firm.” Describing the warrant as “a clear sign of perversity” and “mendacity” and a “violation of constitutional principles,” Marturián said that he would appeal the warrant and appeal the judge's refusal to exempt Jaime from prison. He also declined to say where Jaime was. Marturian assured the court that Jaime had not left the country and that he would appear in court after a decision was made in his request for exemption from prison. As of July 15, 2013, he was considered a “fugitive from justice.” On that same date, federal prosecutor Maximiliano Hairabedian in Córdoba issued his own order for the capture and arrest of Jaime, who was scheduled to go on trial in his court on July 30 on charges relating to his alleged attempt to steal materials that were about to be put into evidence in another case. The evidence he had tried to steal was a set of business cards identifying him as CEO of the company Cerro Motorcycles. On July 16, Judge Villalobo asked Interpol to capture Jaime. On July 18 he was granted exemption from imprisonment, although the exemption did not affect the international arrest warrant. Marturián called for a trial of Bonadio, whom he accused of politically persecuting Jaime. On July 22, Jaime presented himself in the federal courthouse in Córdoba. He said, “I am a person who abides by the law” and denied that there were 20 lawsuits against him, insisting that “only seven lawsuits” against him were “currently awaiting trial.” Marcelo Brito, a lawyer for Jaime, declared that the charges against Jaime had been “made up” and were based on “false witness” and called for the trial to be suspended. Hairabedian expressed doubts as to whether the trial would go on, given that there were several more important lawsuits under way against Jaime. In September 2013, Jaime was found guilty in a Federal Court in Córdoba of attempting to steal evidence and received a suspended sentence of six months in prison. Judge Carlos Lascano called Jaime's defense “absurd and implausible.” In June 2014, the Federal Court of Appeals rejected an appeal of this verdict by
