to the province of Santa Cruz, more specifically, to the town of El Calafate.

It was explained that on Friday, January 23 at 08:40 a commercial flight of Aerolineas Argentinas departed from the Ministro Pistarini International Airport in Ezeiza to the El Calafate International Airport.

"At the last minute, the Airport Security Police would have received a call from an authority of Aerolineas Argentinas requesting that the plane not take off, since a person sent by the then Secretary of Access to Health, Dra. Carla Vizzotti, with -in principle- about 60 doses of the Sputnik V vaccine, "said Graciela Ocaña.

At the time of giving more details, he indicated that said person would be

Gustavo Javier Bahut

, head of monitoring at the Prof. Alejandro Posadas National Hospital.

The indication that would have been made "in order not to raise suspicions, was that the conservator where the doses of the vaccine were kept had to go through the scanner

destined to the control of the crew

."

The account of the events that are now under investigation, maintains that agents of the Airport Security Police "had entered the vaccines through the scanner and the preservative would have

given them to the commander of the aircraft

with the surname Dono for transportation" .

In this sense, the opposition leader requested that the investigation of these events be initiated.

Judicial sources confirmed to

Verification of the records of the

security cameras of

the international airports of Ezeiza and El Calafate is sought in order to verify said maneuver, as well as the federal justice was requested to summon Mr. Gustavo Javier Bahut to give a statement, to that of the explanations of the case.

Likewise, the brief suggested a request for reports to Aerolineas Argentinas, "in order to verify the composition of the crew of the indicated flight, and indicate

who would have given the order to delay the takeoff of the plane

."

In dialogue with

Clarín

, Ocaña said that when he learned of these facts, he made the corresponding complaint "because we want to investigate

whether a VIP vaccination program worked in El Calafate

, and if those 60 doses that should be destined for health personnel,

were derived

for other purposes ".

The court in charge of Capuchetti will send the prosecutor Taiano this Tuesday to analyze the situation and see

what evidence measures should be ordered

in this regard.
