Shortly after the decision to reinstate the Witness Protection Program program under the orbit of the Ministry of Justice was formalized, the Government announced that it will "review" the agreements with regrets that were established under the previous administration.

"Now, after the signing of the DNU, the program will enter a review period where obviously it will be investigated and the corresponding measures will be taken regarding any administrative offense in violation of the criminal law," said the Deputy Minister of Justice, Juan Martín Mena.

In radio statements El Destape , the national official reiterated that the objective is to make a "deep audit on the operation of the program " and warned that "eventually any administrative or criminal responsibility will be immediately denounced."

"Just as the news reports report, everything that was done about that case is absolutely illegal ," he added in reference to the information that was known with the leak of the agreement that was sealed so that Alejandro Paul Vandenbroele becomes repentant in the cause for the sale of the exCiccone, for which former Vice President Amado Boudou is being held.

The Deputy Minister of Justice questioned the terms under which the agreement with Vandenbroele would have been defined: "The program foresees a series of measures so that the State can guarantee the security of the witnesses who are incorporated into the program and the measures include the economic assistance. Now, by no means, it has never been seen that the measures have to do with installing a hotel , an inn for the protected person. "

"From what is reported, it would seem that it was an investment agency instead of a protection program, " he said.

Mena assessed that " what was done in recent years was scandalous " and remarked that this is demonstrated by "these measures that we are knowing now."

"In principle, with the little we have regarding the issue now, what we see is an absolutely irregular and illegal operation. That is, in flagrant violation of the witness protection law as they have handled it in recent years." he reiterated.

And he pointed to the former ministers of Justice and Security, Germán Garavano and Patricia Bullrich, respectively, since " the witnesses said they were interviewing them ", which is established in the regulations that cannot be done.
