Clarín
's revelation regarding the dark negotiations in Anses with the contracting of insurance for retirees who took out loans and the
millionaire commissions that were paid to intermediaries close to power
has already spilled its consequences to the man. most important of this alleged criminal scheme:
former president Alberto Fernández.
The lawyer Silvina Martínez denounced him this Tuesday for
embezzlement of public funds
, along with the former official - and Fernández's close confidant -
Alberto Paglian
, former head of Nación Seguros.
She also accuses them of violation of the duties of a public official and
abuse of authority
.
The case fell into the hands of Judge
Julián Ercolini
, deputy in federal court 11 and who will refer it to the Public Prosecutor's Office to evaluate whether or not to promote a criminal investigation.
"At the end of 2021, the then President Alberto Fernández ordered that all state insurance had to go through Nación Seguros, which, in turn, hired a broker and private companies," the complaint begins.
"The plot of opaque hiring with the safe sector - an activity that Alberto Fernández knows in depth because there he began his political activity - was revealed in a column by the Deputy General Editor of
Clarín, Ricardo Roa
, who said that within the ANSES
a business of 20,000 million pesos annually and 300 million in monthly commissions
with insurance and intermediary commissions," the lawyer continues.
Martínez asks that justice investigate the role of financial brokers
Pablo Torres García and Héctor Martínez Sosa
, who is married to a secretary of Alberto Fernández, María Cantero.
The complaint also contains the news that the suspected scheme was replicated in the Ministry of Security during the presidency of Alberto Fernandez, revealed by
Clarín
this Tuesday.
"In the agreements that the Ministry signed with Nación Seguros there was
a clause that allowed negotiation
: 'The contracting of the insurance that is the subject of this Agreement will be made between the Ministry and Nación Seguros - Headquarters, Sales Management Channel Public Organizations - admitting that the Ministry
can generate a designation of an intermediary if it considers it convenient for its interests
,'” Martínez emphasizes.
The judicial presentation recalls that throughout the Fernández Nación Seguros government, lawyer Alberto Pagliano was in charge,
"a friend from his youth
who accompanied him when he started, in the 90s, in that field but on the side of the State."
