The president of
Banco Chubut, Javier Alvaredo
, was arrested at dawn on Sunday, in the city of Puerto Madryn, after the car in which he was traveling as a companion of another person evaded a police checkpoint.
The Chubut governor's official, Mariano Arcioni, ended up at the police station because,
drunk, he insulted and attacked the police
who followed the car after he fled.
Alvaredo's attacks continued at the police station where he was transferred and
his insults went viral
on the networks, generating a new scandal for the battered administration of Governor Arcioni, after the attack on President Alberto Fernández during his visit to the South.
"Take that out and fight, fucking"
, the official is heard saying, notoriously upset, when he rebukes the police officers, who have already been arrested.
It all happened
after 4 in the morning
this Sunday, when a vehicle control police operation, located at the corner of Roca and Gales avenues, detected a white Volkswagen Up that
ignored
the police
stop signs
and performed a risky evasion maneuver.
According to the official report, he
could have run over the officers
, if they did not react in time.
There
a persecution
began
.
The car turned and ran a red light, but was eventually intercepted.
The vehicle was driven by Hernán Egurza, owner of the local channel
Madryn TV
, who, according to the police, refused to identify himself, to take a breathalyzer test, and also allegedly insulted the police officers.
Alvaredo was accompanying him

But the provincial official
also ended up in detention
.
Is that, according to the police report, the president of Banco Chubut
identified himself as such
before the agents, insulted them -even with some
sexist epithets
against a policeman-, filmed them and went further: "
Inciting to scold
them", describes the part of the operation.
In other words, the official
Alvaredo invited the police to fight
.
The scandal did not end there.
Because Alvaredo continued to threaten the troops already at Police Station 1 in Puerto Madryn where he was transferred, as seen in videos that went viral and show him
drunk
, while he insults the police officers and incites them to a fight again, even when his companion -also delayed- tries to calm him down.
A Sergio Massa man with background
Alvaredo's bid to occupy the presidency of Banco Chubut SA was presented by Governor Arcioni in May of last year and subsequently approved by the provincial legislature.
Governor Mariano Arcioni and Sergio Massa, allies.
This is how Alvaredo became a civil servant in Chubut.
Alvaredo arrived in the province of Chubut at the hands of the current president of the Chamber of Deputies, Sergio Massa, Arcioni's strongest ally at the national level.
The official banker had been head of the Advisory Cabinet in the Ministry of Economy of the Nation, in 2007, in the management of that portfolio of
Miguel Peirano
, whom he later accompanied in his time at the Bank of Investment and Foreign Trade (BICE) .
Peirano, in turn, was one of the leading economists who accompanied Massa in the origins of his political space, the Frente Renovador.
Scandals are not new to Alvaredo.
In June 2020, the president of Banco Chubut had been part of
a controversial barbecue in Playa Unión
with other officials, politicians and local businessmen, who were denounced by residents of the resort, when organizing in
clear violation of the quarantine restrictions
imposed by the coronavirus.
The meeting ended abruptly due to police intervention.
But not only that.
Before moving to Chubut, Alvaredo
already had a history
of mistreating police officers, while intoxicated.
On New Year's Eve 2019, Alvaredo had been
arrested in Mendoza
after assaulting two female police officers in another operation in which he had tested
positive for alcohol
.
Then, they denounced him for resistance to authority and injuries, according to the local newspaper
Somos
.
According to police sources, Alvaredo was detained by the decision of the Puerto Madryn prosecutor on duty "until he
recovers his normal state
of lucidity."
Due to the scandal, rumors have already arisen that the official would
present his resignation
to Arcioni.
