VIP lunches: the IGJ denounced Bullrich and described a judicial operation in his offices as a “squeeze”

The complaint published at the beginning of April by PROFILE where the General Inspectorate of Justice (IGJ) stated that the former president of the PROPatricia Bullrich I would have used the Institute for Strategic Security Studies (IEES) that he presides over to finance his electoral campaign became a legal case in Comodoro Py. It is a file that is in the initial phase, but that has already ended controversy from a operation ordered by the Justice in the offices of the complainant organization.

The case that was opened after the complaint by the IGJ was settled in the Court in charge of Sebastian Ramoswith tax intervention Carlos Stornelli. It is a file that bears the name of the PRO presidential candidate and the cover of fraud due to fraudulent administrationfrom the fact that, according to the complaint, he would have used the IEES to channel millionaire funds destined to strengthen his electoral campaign, something not foreseen in the object of the statute approved by the State.

Within this framework, the judge will surely this Tuesday, May 16, at the Inspection to deliver the summary from which the complaint was based “together with annexes and pertinent documentation, as well as any other administrative file or action internal physical computer science related to the denounced facts”. In turn, it required a report from the officials of the organization that intervened in the investigation together with the organization chart of the Inspection.

The information request also contained a warning, according to a court document to which PERFIL had access. “In case of lack of negative collaboration for the fulfillment of the diligencedesignated personnel are empowered to proceed to search the bodyin order to seize the previously detailed documentation”.

In other words, if the IGJ did not provide the required information, the Technological Crimes Division of the Federal Police, designated for the operation, I had a free hand to pave.

How was the operation

The operation in question was carried out this Tuesday the 16th at noon, as PROFILE learned. Although it was ordered by the judge, Ariel Quety, assistant to the Stornelli Prosecutor’s Office, was present at the scene, with the aim of witnessing the execution of the measure aimed at seeking information. In the IGJ they acted “not opposing any objection” to carry out aaccording to the police report.

But beyond that, the operation did not go down well with the Inspection authorities located on Paseo Colón avenue, a few meters from the Casa Rosada. It is that from there they let it be known that it had actually been an agreement against the complainant in the case and not against the leader they had denounced. And who ratified it before this medium was the head of the organization, Ricardo Nissen.

“We were never going to think that we were complainants, actors in a civil case for the intervention of the Institute (IEES), complainants of a criminal action for violation of the law on financing political parties and that we were going to be the raided ones. It’s the world upside down” the official said.

When developing, linked the measure to a challenge proposal made by the IGJ against Judge Ramos. “When this judge touched us, closely linked to the operations of Lago Escondido and with ties for a car with (the former Buenos Aires Security Minister, Marcelo) D’Alessandro, we challenged. And the prosecutor too, it was nothing more and nothing less than Stornelli , it is known how he acts”, added Nissen.

The recusal, they clarified in Justice, cannot proceed in principle because the complainant, that is, the IGJ, is not a complaining party.

For the IGJ, it was “intimidation”

For this reason, for the operational body deployed this Tuesday, it was exploited in “a disciplinary response, an intimidation incompatible with the democratic state.” Nissen also added that “when they asked us for the information, we initially said that We were not going to deliver anything while the challenge is resolvedand responded with the raid.”

That is a key point that they reject in Commodore Py. It is that judicial sources manifest before a PROFILE consultation that It’s not a raid, it’s that the complainant “refused to provide the documentation” and that motivated Ramos’s order. That material that they went looking for, they affirmed, they needed it “to be able to move forward with their own complaint”, beyond the pending recusal proposal. “No drama,” said a source involved in the case.

It is worth remembering that at the beginning of April a resolution from the General Inspectorate of Justice was issued requesting the intervention of the Institute chaired by the former head of the PRO due to alleged inconsistencies between its actual operation and what is established in the object. Also, indicate suspicious movements such as a million-dollar increase in income from 2021, after periods with deficit fiscal years.

This became two complaints: one civil, filed in the National Court of First Instance No. 28, where the intervention requested by the body, and the penalty, in charge of Ramos and Stornelli.
