Patricio Farcuh

, the last formal owner of the private mail company OCA, died this Saturday of cardiac arrest at age 43.

Farcuh was a certified public accountant from the University of Buenos Aires.

At the age of 33 he had founded the RHUO Group (Organized Human Resources) and RHUO Executive Education (EE), through which he organized congresses, conventions and exclusive private sessions between companies and important international speakers.

In 2013 he took over OCA

, the largest private mail in the country, leveraged by the Moyano family.

But three years later, Farcuh, considered a front man for the leader of the Truckers union, denounced that Hugo Moyano had taken control of the company by force.

At that time, an internal video was released showing how Moyano and a group of union leaders evicted Farcuh from his office and later denied him admission.

The day Hugo Moyano fired Patricio Farcuh from OCA and took control of the company for a time.

Eventually, the Justice ordered his reincorporation as owner and it remained that way until February 2019, two months before Judge Pablo Tejada

decreed the bankruptcy of OCA

for a debt of 7,000 million pesos, of which the majority are tax debts with the AFIP.

That liability now exceeds 8,600 million.

By this measure, Farcuh ceased to be the owner of the postal firm, and the Justice disqualified him and prohibited him from leaving the country.

In May 2018, Farcuh was prosecuted for the crime of improper withholding of social security contributions, with an embargo of 400 million pesos.

Months later, the AFIP

denounced him for the emptying and embezzlement

of his company

funds

.

The complaint noted that Farcuh had contracted "various apocryphal and unrelated suppliers" to OCA's business line.

The millionaire acquisition of luxury goods and services for the owner of the firm was confirmed, such as the purchase of high-end motorcycles, expensive watches, air flight services for people from the artistic and political environment, as well as services and goods from abroad.

There were also hiring of companies linked to Farcuh himself and his brother, for "amounts above the market value."
