Justice
is investigating
the son of Christian deputy Leopoldo Moreau for receiving
more than 5 million pesos
from companies linked to a trout billing "powerhouse" in 2017. Leopoldo Raúl Moreau (son of the legislator)
has already declared a personal bankruptcy
before the judge commercial María Virginia Villaroel where four cars finished her off, among other goods.
Case number 956 of economic criminal justice
was opened in 2017 by the DGI
upon discovering that "powerhouse" that issued trout invoices for
more than 460 million pesos between 2015 and 2016 to facilitate tax evasion by its clients.
The judge of that jurisdiction Juan Galván Greenway and the prosecutor German Bincaz
have it
and, so far,
there are no defendants
but there is evidence such as checks, bank transfers and documents obtained in various raids,
judicial sources informed
Clarín .
Moreau Jr. appears in the case among the
"beneficiaries"
of the maneuver but
"without direct participation"
in the alleged illicit fiscal association.
Currently, he is an advisor to the government of San Luis.
The
main
investigated are "the company
Planeta Marketing
and its controllers Fernando Jover and others."
The DGI's complaint states that the companies “Postocom & cia srl;
Pu Pro Mas sa;
Depco group sa;
All Heavy sa;
Plus management srl;
Mo Le constructions;
LSM consultants sa;
and
Planeta Marketing sa
”, among others.
Moreau Jr. and the company L & J Agropecuaria SA
appear on the list of beneficiaries of electronic transfers from the Planeta Marketing account or firms linked to it
.
The latter was created by Moreau's son.
The DGI report says that Planeta Marketing transferred to Moreau Jr. "through the firm L & J Agropecuaria, of which it is principal, the sum of pesos three million seven hundred and seventy thousand ($3,770,000)
.
"
Then it points out that from another of the companies in that circuit "they made transfers for the sum of pesos
nine hundred and fifty thousand ($950,000)
and, as in the case of Planeta Marketing SA, they are the day after receiving transfers of the firm FGM SA".
Then
they transferred $430,000
from another of the companies in that circuit that revolves around Planeta Marketing.
The tax body explains that the controllers of the "powerhouse" are "linked to the people who cashed checks or received transfers from the aforementioned "ghost" companies, creating a structure whose purpose is to manage the funds received by the invoice
powerhouses
. apocryphal”.
While the directors of the apocryphal companies were
low-income people hired as front men.
Then it names the taxpayers or beneficiary companies that bought bogus invoices from non-existent companies.
That is to say, "those who were able to reduce the tax base to be taxed in various taxes (basically Income Tax or Value Added Tax) from formal operations in their appearance, but non-existent in essence
.
"
A part of those 1,300 firms paid the debts claimed by the DGI for
more than 460 million pesos.
It points out that "those who created and market the shell companies listed in this order intend to sell
a complete and effective product (false vouchers)
, with the purpose of illegitimately favoring tax savings" of the companies that bought trout invoices.
Further on, it states that "
a series of subjects were detected who had intervened in the payment circuits
for the purpose of making effective the collection of the results derived from the criminal maneuver, either through various firms (many of them, power plants and users of apocryphal invoices)”.
During the investigation, the judge found out data on alleged residences of Moreau son
on route 228 at the height of San Cayetano, San Isidro and CABA, among others
, with negative results.
Instead, it advanced on an address located on
Avenida del Libertador at 15000 in the town of San Isidro
that would be owned by Moreau's son.
There, says the cause, there is "a house that is demolished and there is a sign indicating that there is a construction for multi-family housing with a building permit."
At this point, the court sought to verify that
it was not Deputy Moreau
who has privileges that prevent the search of his home.
These are two
very similar
names .
It happens that the legislator is called Leopoldo Raúl Guido (76 years old) and the son Leopoldo Raúl (42 years old).
Later, the magistrate carried out
a series of raids in La Plata and other places
in which he requested information on the accused and also on Moreau's son.
In parallel, in bankruptcy case 29064/2016, the judge asked the General Inspectorate of Justice (IGJ) to send her the complete file of the company "L&J Agropecuaria SRL" in order to report if there are "
quotas in the name" of Moreau's son for the claim of one of his creditors
