The controller of the Posadas Hospital, Alberto Maceira, testified this Tuesday before the judge in charge of the case,
María Eugenia Capuchetti
, and acknowledged having been in charge of the vaccination of the 10 involved in the operation that was carried out in the second floor of the Ministry of Health.
The hospital's vaccination manager, María Elena Borda, also gave a statement.
Both,
Clarín
learned
, were angry for being involved in this situation.
Maceira admitted that it was he who led the immunization of the members of the VIP vaccination center, among which Horacio Verbitsky, Jorge Taiana and Eduardo Valdés stood out, in a revelation published by this medium.
In addition, he would have acknowledged that he had previously assisted Olivos to
apply the second dose to President Alberto Fernández,
which had not been disclosed.
According to Maceira and Borda, they were the only two opportunities in which they left the Posadas to vaccinate officials.
They also
revealed that in addition to them, a driver, a doctor and an administrator went to the ministry
.
They also stressed that on the fifth floor of the ministry there is a vaccination center, which is used to apply doses against the flu, for example.
But in this case,
the vaccinated VIPs went to an anteroom
of Ginés'
office
, on the second floor, where they were passed one by one.
Capuchetti

All the complaints were filed in courts 5 and 6, both a shipment from Capuchetti, since on 6 he was subrogated after the retirement of Eduardo Canicoba Corral.
Those involved are accused of "abuse of authority" and
the first accused by Taiano were González García and his nephew, Lisandro Bonelli
, who was in charge of the Cabinet Office of the Ministry of Health.
Both health specialists also said that
the calls they received to go to the Ministry of Health to carry out vaccinations, to Olivos in the case of Fernández, came from the secretary of Ginés González García, Marcelo Guille, and the undersecretary of Management of Services and Institutes , Alejandro Collia
.
They were the ones who informed them which people should be vaccinated.
In that sense, they excused themselves from having to obey orders because they were requests from higher-ranking officials.
As
Clarín

, Collia, a former Buenos Aires Minister of Health, has been hospitalized for Covid-19 since the beginning of February.
Previously,
Taiano had asked the judge to seize the records of the trips made by the official cars of the Ministry of Health
to and from the Posadas Hospital, located in El Palomar, Morón district.
There they gave me more information from the court: both Maceira and the girl, who was in charge of the Posadas vaccination center, were very hot.
The woman, above all, who is young.
And another thing: on the fifth floor of the ministry there is a vaccination center that they use for the flu, for example.
But here they were sent to the anteroom of Ginés's office, on the second floor.
And that the ten vaccinated were passing one by one ...
