Judicial fronts advancing against the mayor of Quillmes Myra Mendoza And their former and current municipal officials who process workers’ cooperative funds in this area, today there are two separate files: one is in the federal courts. Commodore Pi And in the other federal courts Quillmes.

Both investigations focus on multimillion-dollar contracts signed by Quillmes Municipality with a group of cooperatives allegedly linked to municipal officials around Mendoza who diverted some of the money received by these cooperatives to offshore companies.

These cooperatives have received more than 500 million pesos in construction, maintenance and various service contracts from the municipality. “Waste collection”, “Improvement and beautification of public spaces”, “Fumigation and pest control”, “Purchase of ornamental plants” and “Maintenance of squares” are the formal reasons for hiring a municipality. The indictment alleges that part of the money received by these cooperatives belonged to a group of former officials close to the mayor abroad.

In addition to Mendoza, they are charged Sebastian Rasp – Former Deputy of Habitat of the Municipality-, Martin Bordalejo -Former official and lawyer- and Joseph Alexander Scozar Accountant of several companies, including a municipal contractor. These are the names that some cooperatives and contracting firms have in common with the alleged maneuvers of diverting funds.

But he is also accused Romina Cangelos Employed in the municipality-, Alexander Gandulfo – Head of the Cabinet of the Municipality – and Cecilia Soler – Secretary of Urban Development and Improvement of the municipality-. For the past few hours, Mendoza’s ex-husband has been involved in a case in Comodoro Py. Sebastian DaerBecause he was a representative of a construction firm that was also associated with Raspa and Skozar.

Some of the contract information has already been removed by order of the Federal Justice System in a series of raids on Quilmes. The mayor denied the allegation of redistribution of funds. He said the information was false, harmful and denied the funds were diverted to the city of Miami – an element indicated in the complaint and investigated by the judiciary. In a video posted last Friday, Mendoza said about 300 people are employed in the cooperatives set up by the municipality.

“There are no officials or relatives of this leadership in any of the cooperatives,” the mayor said. However, one of the court requests, the prosecutor Sylvia Cavallo, According to Quilmes, the relationship between the group of defendants and some of the cooperatives that received the contracts has been confirmed. One of them is Raspa, who resigned as Deputy Secretary of Habitat for the Municipality upon his departure. different opinion Disclosed information that led to the allegations.

“The real existence of the condemned individuals and legal entities is obvious, the existence of links between Sebastian Raspa and the Barrio Unido Limitada Work Cooperative”; Martin Bordalejo with La Estrella Limitada Labor Cooperative; “Jose Alejandro Scozari with The Wolf Building SA, Materyale SA, Mangia SA and Encrotar SA, and Sebastian Raspa, Martin Bordalejo and Jose Alejandro Scozar with JD Vitruvio SA,” wrote Prosecutor Cavazlou. , To which he agreed ᲔᲠᲘ.

What else does the judiciary know about condemned cooperatives? Ცota. As this media has learned, the National Institute of Associations and Social Economy (INAES) has not yet submitted the documents requested by the court officials. This unit is headed by Alexandre Roig, a French sociologist who is the leader of the Evita Movement, an organization that often has territorial disputes with La Cámpora. Once the cooperatives’ social contracts are justified and the payroll is reached to find out who their workers are – who may be considered victims if it is proven that the funds have been redistributed – some of them may be called as witnesses.

Another element that the court may observe in the coming weeks is the certification of municipal works awarded to cooperatives and construction companies and their concrete progress, a court source told the media.

By order of Quilmes Judge Luis Armela, at least four offices of the cooperatives have already been raided. At the offices of The Wolf Building, one of the construction firms targeted in the lawsuit over its million-dollar contracts, of which Scozzari is a part, has had their mobile phones confiscated and will be investigated soon. In the other raided offices, accounting documents and information about the municipal contract were removed. Wolf Building has appointed Alejandro Scozar as alternate director, one of the defendants who is a partner of Raspa and Bordalejo in another company. The complaint states that cooperatives affiliated with Raspa and these companies share addresses.

When he charged Mendoza, Cavallo not only asked for evidence aimed at verifying the facts reported, but also ordered the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) to investigate the mayor and the other defendants’s property. A court request which he agreed to ᲔᲠᲘ. The Quilmes federal justice system has also asked Procelac to cooperate.

The Comodoro Py file also spreads the evidence. Prosecutor Ramiro Gonzalez has already signed two lawsuits in which he has demanded multiple and varied measures, and in recent hours he has indicted Mendoza’s ex-husband, Sebastian Daer, and former Quillmes municipality officials and staff.

The first file was initiated by a lawyer’s complaint against Mendoza, which was later pursued by opposition MP Monica Freud. This case is in the hands of the prosecutor Ramiro Gonzalez And Judge Ariel Ligo. The Quilmes trials, commissioned by Judge Luis Armela and investigated by prosecutor Sylvia Cavallo, began with Mendoza’s own complaint, which described the charge as false information. Last Friday, while defending the charge of redistribution of funds, the mayor argued that if there is procedural progress, it is because he asked his legal team to investigate the published information.
