Alberto Fernández
already has a replacement to occupy the Anti-Corruption Office again, headless since the beginning of the year due to the departure of
Félix Crous
, who resigned from his position after advancing with a series of initiatives aimed at favoring Cristina Kirchner in Justice.
This is
Verónica Gómez
, a lawyer who had worked for a long time in the City Ombudsman's Office and who reports directly to the Deputy Chief of Staff,
Juan Manuel Olmos
, one of the closest collaborators to the head of state.
This was reported to this newspaper by official sources.
The OA, which is formally in charge "of the prevention and investigation of corruption and the formulation of transparency policies", had not been led since January after Crous's resignation was accepted by Fernández and after three years in which the former prosecutor of the Institutional Violence Prosecutor's Office (Procuvin) sought to benefit the former president in some of the most sensitive cases in which the office had appeared during the previous administration.
Crous first abandoned the role of plaintiff in the Los Sauces and Hotesur cases, and then returned to try to soften the judicial file of the vice president by renouncing the allegations in the Roads case, for which Cristina Kirchner was finally sentenced to six years imprisonment
. imprisonment and perpetual disqualification from holding public office, the famous "proscription" with which Kirchnerism has made its banner in recent months.
Gómez arrives at that hot chair after working technically with María Rosa Muiños, partner of the Deputy Chief of Staff, in the Buenos Aires Ombudsman's Office.
Coming from socialism, the new official met Olmos during her time as a City legislator.
There they established a close relationship that led the official to propose her to the President to manage the OA.
The body was in the news in these years mainly due to Crous's decision to drop all the complaints in criminal cases for corruption, many of them with former K officials involved: the former head of the OA said that he did so due to "lack of
personnel "
.
Clarin
reported at the time the dissolution of the agency's Strategic Litigation unit: Crous then ordered the reassignment of all his staff to give the office another profile.
