The data arises from the audits carried out by the Government after the spread of the insurance scandal in Anses. They discovered that other brokers had acted in addition to Martínez Sosa, close to the former president.


The audits carried out by the Government after learning of the scandalous plot with official insurance

detected striking policy renewals, with the participation of the aforementioned "brokers", a few weeks after Alberto Fernández left power

.

This is the case of the

agreement signed in the Ministry of Defense

to cover the entire automotive fleet, for more than $800 million.

The survey for now only detected the participation of a broker in the coverage of the Navy vehicles, who was removed from his role on February 29.

In all cases these are

contracts with Nación Seguros

, as stipulated in the 2021 decree signed by Alberto Fernández that obliges public organizations to hire this insurance firm.

However, internal evaluations were able to detect that, in addition to

Pablo Torres García and Héctor Martínez Sosa, other intermediaries acted in the management of insurance

with public organizations.

As reported in Defense, former Minister

Jorge Taiana f

signed an agreement on November 3 to renew the policy that covered the automobile fleet of the three forces and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

There is also the signature of

Alberto Pagliano

, head of Nación Seguros, friend of the former president and today investigated in the judicial case being processed by federal judge

Julián Ercolini

.

In the last few hours, the magistrate ordered

"27 procedures"

in different insurers that brokered contracts with the State.

In its article 7, the document recognizes that the contracting

"will be done directly" between the organization and Nación Seguros

"

without the participation of any intermediary

. "

Close to Cristina Kirchner's former chancellor, they rejected the suspicions but admitted that because it was a large policy, it exceeded $800 million a year.

The search carried out by Luis Petri

's management discovered

the participation of a "broker", in this case, in the Navy's insurance.

A document dated October 25, 2022, signed by Vice Admiral

Jorge Traina,

and addressed to the authorities of Nación Seguros, reports that

"Diego Savio is authorized as producer"

and "to carry out the administrative and claims procedures that these policies require." they come off."

In the end, it is a new "broker" in official insurance operations.

"It's a loose leaf,"

they excused themselves near Taiana to try to make the complaint relative, although they argued that each force operated in a "decentralized" manner in this matter.

"We always had the position that there be no intermediaries," they argued and slipped that they extended the agreement because it expired on October 31.

A resolution by the head of the naval force, Carlos María Allievi, on February 29, terminated that link.

The document shows that

"Mr. Diego Savio, provider through Nación Seguros, managed Navy policies" but they "expired on 12/31/2023 and were not renewed

."

At the same time, it was stated that the "mentioned provider, as of January 10 of this year, is not authorized to manage any type of insurance policy with the General Staff of the Navy."

In the ruling party, however, they highlighted that there are

many government departments

that before the end of Alberto Fernández's mandate

registered these insurance extensions

, sometimes with values ​​higher than those of the market, and with the intervention of a few producers associated with Insurance Nation.

This statement is shared by an experienced insurance agent consulted by this newspaper:

"They are the same 5 or 6 brokers that appear in these policies with public organizations,

which represent 30% of the insurance business throughout the country," he surmised and He acknowledged that such a mass of money

has financed "for decades a political fund that feeds in Peronism but also in the PRO."
