Two small companies born in the president’s six-year term Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador without experience or infrastructure recognized by the control bodies, they have managed to accumulate contracts for more than 2.6 billion pesos with federal government agencies to offer health services to bureaucrats, in addition to becoming IMSS providers to outsource specialized medical procedures. .
These are Atlantis Operadora Servicios de Salud SA de CV and Corporativo Médico Community Doctors SA de CV, which we discussed in this space on June 7 (https://bit.ly/3pDyjzh), related to each other through their legal representatives. Since 2019, both companies have been awarded large contracts with public organizations such as Nacional Financiera, the Institute to Return the Stolen to the People, the National Lottery, the Federal Mortgage Society and the Felipe Ángeles International Airport.
Atlantis Operadora Servicios de Salud was incorporated on December 19, 2018 and is considered a microenterprise, according to the categorization of the federal government purchasing portal CompraNet. This small company has been very lucky to have won eight public sector contracts for more than 2 billion pesos, some of them valid until 2023. In the case of the AIFAthe company will provide medical care to its few users throughout 2022, as if there were many passengers.
For its part, Corporativo Médico Community Doctors, officially listed as another small company, was established a year later, on December 14, 2019, and by the first quarter of 2021 it already had two contracts with Nafin, led by Juan Pablo de Botton, for 533 million pesos to provide the Comprehensive Medical and Hospitalization Service of the Banrural System Pension Fund.
To the incomparable harvest that these two companies have obtained in their first four and three years of operation, respectively, are added the contracts that other firms linked to them have and that accompany them in the tenders to ensure that the business invariably falls into their hands. . Among these appears the corporate name Challenge Consulting SC, with contracts of more than 80 million pesos.
The next step of what could be considered the new health services “cartel” is to reach the category of specialized provider, to offer up to 180,000 high-class medical procedures to the IMSS, of Zoé Robledo, despite the fact that the Superior Audit of the Federation has detected irregularities such as “the absence of technical, human, financial capacity and its own infrastructure.”
In the tender LA-050GYR988-E15-2022, related to the contracting of the “Comprehensive Medical Service for Minimally Invasive Procedures 2022”, Atlantis Operadora Servicios de Salud is registered with an offer for three of 21 items, corresponding mainly to procedures of endoscopy for 172 million pesos. Sentencing is scheduled for August 26.
In this column we reveal that Atlantis Operadora Servicios de Salud and Community Doctors are companies identified with businessmen Israel Rodríguez Moreno and Javier Gómez González; also with former officials and active officials of the 4T. One of them is Modesto Solís Silva, from Banco del Bienestar, and Mariam Castillo Rupit, from Indep.
These MSMEs are also linked, indirectly, with Ernesto Prieto Ortega, the official who at the beginning of the administration sent AMLO to the National lottery and then to Indep, where several corruption scandals exploded… and they are going to detonate more.
Postscript
Regarding the sale of Citibanamex, in which President López Obrador is very interested because it will “return” to Mexican investors and hundreds of millions of taxes will be paid, the waters continue to move. Tycoon Germán Larrea remains the “ace up his sleeve” who could put the best offer on the table, above 12 billion dollars. Banorte, owned by Carlos Hank González, and Inbursa, owned by Carlos Slim, are still very interested and in the bid to keep the assets of the iconic bank. The one close to the president, Antonio Del Valle Ruíz, is evaluating whether he will go with Larrea or Slim, but an offer – he is sure – he will go up.
They sue the AICM cleaning company
Workers who provided services at the Mexico City International Airport filed a labor lawsuit with the Local Conciliation and Arbitration Board for “unjustified dismissal and for violations of our rights, such as the payment of benefits contemplated in the Federal Labor Law,” in which the companies P&C Cleaning SA de CV and AQUASEO SA de CV would be involved, which provided the cleaning service for Terminals 1 and 2.
According to file 852/2021, the companies did not affiliate all the workers who provided services in the AICM before the IMSSthus avoiding the payment of employer contributions and evading the corresponding contributions to the Retirement Savings System, payments to the SAT and the CDMX Treasury.
According to the complaint, the increases corresponding to the minimum salary of the employees that have been authorized during the current administration have not been made, a fault that is also being investigated by the local Board chaired by Eleazar Rubio Aldarán.
Due to these irregularities, the consortium made up of P&C Cleaning and AQUASEO stopped working with the airport directed by Carlos Ignacio Velázquez Tiscareño since 2021, when through the tender LA-009KDN001-E37-2021 the contract for the services was assigned to other providers. cleaning services that will be in force until April 2023.
