In the building of the Provincial Attorney General, Attorney General Pedro García Castiella, together with his prosecutors, explained at a press conference the situation in which the cause of the false financier is found, an investigation that “has just begun,” according to the attorney. It is about the case where sensitive data of one of the CIF investigators was infiltrated and the issue of the general commissioner Juan Ramón Miranda, who after having received a resolution by the chief of Police to be removed, yesterday was confirmed by Castiella to continue in the area of investigations of the CIF. Circumstance, the latter, that undressed old quarrels between the agencies responsible for ensuring the safety of the people of Salta.
Along with the prosecutor were the prosecutor Ana Inés Salinas Odorisio, in charge of the investigation where an organization that used a false financial institution was disrupted; the criminal prosecutor Ramiro Ramos Ossorio, in charge of the case where a sleuth from the Fiscal Investigation Corps was harassed after leaked data from the Digital System of the Police Human Resources area, and two assistant prosecutors from the CIF, Gaspar Solá and Nicolás Montaldi.
For more than an hour and a half, officials from the Public Prosecutor’s Office were in charge of evacuating the questions given by a large number of journalists from Salta.
Faced with a million-dollar investigation like the one that has been carried out a few weeks ago, with a false financial, the prosecutor was annoyed at the widespread inquiries about the general commissioner Miranda and the “claims” of the police chief, Miguel Mariano Ceballos , to separate from the strategic position Miranda, who currently works in the MPF.
In this sense, García Castiella treated as irrational and incoherent the request of the head of the Police of the Province of Salta.
“We are faced with the claim from the Police Headquarters of the displacement of the head of the CIF investigators team, Commissioner Juan Ramón Miranda, who is not just another police officer, but is the assistant delegate of this attorney in the team’s reorganization process. of researchers and that in no way can it be admitted that in full progress of this investigation it is almost irrationally displaced and it is intended to make it available”, Castiella said.
At the end of the press conference given by the attorney general and part of his prosecutors, the general commissioner Juan Ramón Miranda maintained that in “28 years of service I never got to a place out of friendship. I am an employee of the State, I belong to the police institution and due to situations beyond my control they notified me, Ceballos himself, to present myself to another body.” When asked about the function he performs in the CIF, he indicated that he is the “coordinator of the Investigations Department.”
“Furthermore, with the inconsistency of a resolution that says that he is removed from the CIF for service reasons, for reasons of other needs of the police force when in the same resolution it is said that he will be waiting for some situation that needs his assignment,” added the effusive attorney.
The prosecutor pointed out that as a result of this, people related to the case were threatened, for which custody was requested from the Federal Police.
Among those involved are police officers from the province
“It’s the tip of the iceberg,” said the province’s attorney general, García Castiella, alluding to the investigation that is being carried out into the illegal financier in Salta. At the conference, the police link in the case had been ruled out, until then there were only suspicions. There is no defendant so far, “said prosecutor Salinas Odorisio. However, yesterday afternoon the investigators arrested two officers, an officer and a corporal, Bonifacio.
“The objective of this investigation was to disrupt a gang whose members were dedicated to raising money and the activity of a financial institution absolutely outside the law,” said Odorisio. Following this line, he maintained that they acted using a nonexistent name with the use of a “CUIL of a company that has nothing to do with this financial situation.”
They also used the signature of a lawyer who is a victim and “does not know the city of Salta, much less resides,” explained the prosecutor.
The prosecutor recalled with figures the magnitude of the investigation where some 3,000 documents were seized, more than 16 million pesos, 16,500 dollars and about 20 vehicles, among other elements. When consulted, she explained that it was an investigation that began ex officio without formal complaints, so far there are about 20 complaints made.
Among the people who fled, four, is the main person involved, all are with an arrest warrant, reported the prosecutor.
Two other policemen fall
Yesterday an officer (surnamed Espejo) and a corporal (Bonifacio) of the Police were arrested in the framework of the investigations that are being carried out in the case of the financial company. The first had a store in downtown Salta from where they kidnapped more than 1.5 million pesos, 15,900 dollars, a contract and stationery from Financiera Ríos y Asociados. Both were in direct communication with the leader and “would have roles as collaborators.”
