Prosecutor Eduardo Taiano expanded the charges in the case of the VIP Vaccination scandal that ejected Ginés González García from the Ministry of Health.
Now he asked to impute
Alejandro Collia
, undersecretary of Management of Services and Institutes of the sanitary portfolio and the private secretary of the former minister,
Marcelo Guille
, at the same time, his business partner in private enterprises.
In addition, Taiano asked Judge María Eugenia Capuchetti to summon
the writer Beatriz Sarlo as a witness
, as a result of her statements that she had offered to get vaccinated "under the table."
The intellectual had said that she would only expand on details if "a prosecutor" requested it.
That was done by Taiano, who requested that Sarlo "specifically, must indicate
when, by what means and who would have contacted her
, and if she learned of other similar cases," he wrote in his request.
The prosecutor in the case also asked the Ministry of Health to report the telephones -both official and private- used by Collia, Guille and the others already accused, González García and his nephew, the former Chief of the Health Cabinet, Lisandro Bonelli, to send to make a
crossover of calls
in the days prior to the vip vaccination in the anteroom of the former minister's office and at the Posadas Hospital.
In parallel, he requested that the telephone companies be subsequently requested to report the calls made by the accused officials
between December 29, 2020 and February 19, 2021
.
Undersecretary Collia, now accused, is
going through a delicate health situation
, with a hospitalization for Covid, from which he was infected after being vaccinated and led him to a drug coma and intensive therapy.
Marcelo Guille was not only an employee at the Ministry and an
off
-
road assistant
for Ginés.
Also on the board
of
directors
of the firm Carpor SA, a pig farm
that the former minister operates in the Baradero area, also together with his nephew Bonelli.
He also asked
Posadas for the videos of the security cameras
between February 1 and 19, 2021.
In his brief, the prosecutor defined "the procedural object of the investigation to
irregular vaccinations
carried out with doses of Sputnik V, assigned to the Posadas National Hospital."
After the Clarín revelation and the VIP Vaccination scandal, the Government published
a list of 70 names
of officials, businessmen, journalists and family members who had agreed to be immunized.
For Taiano, that list includes "people who
did not meet the epidemiological priority criteria
and the previously established scheme of stages, and / or in the pertinent forms they entered a
false category of health workers
."
In this last item, the vaccinations of the Treasury attorney, Carlos Zannini and his wife Patricia Alsúa, would be recorded.
The prosecutor also details that the privileged persons "would have been inoculated in the referred medical institution (by Posadas), the Ministry of Health of the Nation
and private homes
."
In the anteroom of Ginés' office, ten people were vaccinated, among them, the journalist Horacio Verbitsky, the businessman Florencio Aldrey Iglesias and his relatives, the senator Jorge Taiana and the deputy Eduardo Valdés.
The home delivery of vip vaccines
would have benefited, according to their own statements, former president Eduardo Duhalde, his wife Hilda "Chiche" González de Duhalde and two daughters of the marriage.
