South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's mistress is a 43-year-old employee of an international agriculture company who speaks several languages and lives in an upscale apartment building in Buenos Aires, Argentina, local media there are reporting.
Though details are sparse, Terra Noticias reported Thursday that the woman's name is Maria Belen Shapur and she works for the international agribusiness firm Bunge y Born.
The newspaper, along with Buenos Aires Continental Radio, reported that she lives next to the Buenos Aires Zoo in a 14-story building. A witness described her as a beautiful brunette with big eyes who plays tennis on a nearby lawn and runs every morning in her neighborhood.
The witness told the radio station that Sanford arrived at the complex, alone, with a small sports bag last week and asked to go inside the building.
Sanford admitted Wednesday to having an affair over the last year and covering up a secret trip to visit his mistress last week. The admission rocked the South Carolina political scene and has also captured the attention of the Buenos Aires media, as the governor provided few details about his lover.
Terra Noticias reported that Belen speaks English, Portuguese and Chinese, and that the company she supposedly works for is massive, with 25,000 employees in more than 30 countries, including 1,000 in Argentina, according to a profile on the Bunge Limited Web site.

I don’t have anything to add, but your screen name always makes me giggle when I see it.
“That Woman”? /S
You said — So if it is discovered that someone in our party did this, they will not get my vote for dogcatcher.
—
Actually, if it were someone in our own group that did it, that person (or persons) were doing us a favor by exposing it so early.
BUT, if I were to *bet* on some group (or other candidate) who would do this kind of thing — it would be Romney and/or Romney supporters.
Actually, that is probably where all her taste is.
Anyone know if SC was doing business with this firm?
What I wouldn’t give to be a set of hands...
Wrong country.
But verrah, verrah nice.

Don't know where you got that false information but Sanford's wife kicked him out of the house 2 weeks ago so there was no need for him to "toss a sleeping bag in his car as cover". Get your facts straight.
Bunge Limited NYSE: BG (formerly Bunge International and prior to that Bunge Y Born) is a Bermudan food conglomerate with its headquarters in White Plains, New York. As well as being a leading global soybean exporter it is also involved in food processing, grain trading, and fertilizer. It competes with Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland.
Soybeans perhaps? Just guessing.
This guy is a disgrace. He should resign and go away.
Well, ya gotta give it to Monica,

I like where this thread is going =)
Gee, thanks, just when I had my priapism under control.
[Hey, here is Obama’s squeeze...the now hidden in the Bahamas Miss Vera Baker]
Do you know that for sure? I have a sleazy real estate friend who claims he was looking at high end homes in Florida when Obama came buzzing through. Right away methinks mistress. Confirmation would be nice.
Is she the one?
Even though the image url says "adultos", she looks a little young to be the one. Nice eyes.
