Eduardo Belliboni complicated before Justice
The judicial investigation into the management of the social plans began with an avalanche of complaints to line 134 about alleged extortion to go to the marches, but as the days passed it led to a possible fraud of millions of dollars in the State's coffers. Judge Sebastián Casanello detected fraudulent invoices from two companies, one closely linked to the Polo Obrero, for a total of $25 million pesos. These invoices, for the sale of goods and even computers, would have been used to justify money expenditures.
One of the targeted firms is a printing company called “Ediciones e Impresiones Rumbos SRL”, based at 542 Palestine Street, in the Almagro neighborhood. In that place there is a modest PH, which was raided when the case was under summary secrecy. The Police were received by the son of former legislator Marcelo Ramal, who would live there with his mother and another person. There was no trace of the printing press.
It is not all. Infobae revealed yesterday that the printing press, linked to political activities of the Partido Obrero, has only two registered employees. One of them is Claudia Ferrero , one of the lawyers who presented herself as a defender of several of the defendants in the case.
The other firm that would have provided invoices is Coxtex SA , created in 2020 and supposedly dedicated to the sale of household appliances, cell phones and computer accessories. “ It is in the AFIP database as a company used to provide apocryphal invoices ,” explained a Court source.
The address that Justice raided
This Monday, when summoning 23 people for investigation, Judge Casanello spoke of “the use of apocryphal billing and the simulation of unspecified expenses – at least through the firms “Ediciones e Impresiones Rumbos SRL” and “Coxtex SA” - , to disguise the true use of an important part of the funds.” Between the two firms they accumulated invoices for $25 million.
What is Eduardo Belliboni's connection with this operation? In principle, the leader signed statements of funds where the suspicious invoices appear. “ Between 2020 and 2023, the Polo Obrero civil association and the El Resplandor cooperative received $360 million. That total would have yielded only 113 million , as reported so far by the Ministry of Human Capital. And in those returns the 25 million invoices appear. It is a high percentage,” explained a source who had access to the court case.
Belliboni is summoned to testify on June 25. That same day, Adrián Albornorz , the alleged owner of the printing press, and María Isolda Dotti, alias Tango, the young woman who had more than 54 thousand dollars under her bed, will also testify.
The PO leader could also be questioned about the content of the wiretapping that was done to Jeremías Cantero , the second in his organization. The content of the conversations between the two was not made public.
The PH where a company associated with the Polo Obrero supposedly operated
“The Government wants to put me in prison ,” was the first reaction upon learning of the call for an investigation. A few hours later she presented a brief to the court and appointed a defense attorney because until now she had not been mentioned in the file. Yesterday, the judge added him to the list of inhibited people along with Brisa Noelia Paucara Choque, Mercedes Fossat, María Cecilia Cowper, Mariano Alejandro Centanni, Erika Lubenfeld, Ezequiel Coego, Iván Ortiz, Roberto Adrián Albornoz.
These people will not be able to sell any of their assets while the investigation lasts.
Casanello's case began in December, with a complaint from the Ministry of National Security, based on 924 complaints received on line 134. Of that total, 45 that would have occurred in the Federal Capital were taken into account and it was achieved the testimony of 5 people . The rest were sent to more than thirty federal courts in the interior of the country.
The file progressed in silence, with wiretaps and other evidence, and was only known two weeks ago, when Judge Casanello ordered multiple raids that had been requested by prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita. Since then, the court stayed with the investigation, which was under summary secrecy for several days.
As the days passed, other complainants were encouraged to provide evidence. In fact, it emerged that at least 10 people were included in the Protected Witness Program. They fear for their lives.
