Prosecutions by the ARA San Juan | Irregularidade …

The Federal Judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi was sued by Federal Judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi for committing irregularities in the recruitment of the first private company that was to resume the search for ARA San Juan at the end of the month last June. Members of the armed forces and Oscar Aguad's portfolio are suspected of benefiting a Spanish company, owned by an Argentine with links to the Navy, who had neither experience nor ability to carry out the research.

The persons prosecuted for breach of their duties are part of the evaluation committee of the Ministry of Defense: Hector Horisberger, Marcelo Gustavo Dip, Rogelio Alfredo García Bastitta, members of the Navy and the Army of the air, and Pablo Longhi, member of the under-secretary. logistics service. De Giorgi felt that officials "had not applied the law" when previously awarded the search for the ARA San Juan to the Spanish company Igeotest Geosciences and Explorations SL, owned by Argentine Marcelo Devicenzi.

"They had a perfect knowledge of the regulations in force regarding recruitment and despite all the obvious inconsistencies presented by the recommended bidder, they continued the process without rejecting the offer," said the judge's decision Federal, which marked, among other administrative errors, the file, the business number of the Spanish company Igeotest Geociencias SL pre-clbadified, did not correspond to the registration number ".

The complaint had been presented by the lawyer Valeria Carrera, who represented 9 women of submariners, had disappeared with the ARA San Juan on November 15, 2017. Carrera had warned "the falsification of". a public instrument, the ideological lie and the breach of duty of the official, with fraud to the detriment of the public administration ".

The lawyer had warned that between the call for bids and the quick pre – award on June 1, the members of the evaluation board had baderted that "no. it was an "inexperienced enterprise". In this quick reward, heads of state have accepted the statement of a CUIT belonging to a bankrupt company since April 2017 in a court of Girona, Spain, which bore the same name, Control and Prospecting Igeotest SL. "The officials responsible for the direct hiring of marras have not acted with the utmost diligence, but some of them have undoubtedly altered the data on the page concerning the company pre-judged, "warned the complaint.

Finally, the offer was retained in favor of Igeotest Geociencias SL, imposed on other renowned companies in the field, such as SEA, the Venezuelan Hugo Marino, who had promised to find the submarine in a hundred days, and Ocean Infinity, who had participated in the search for the submarine. A plane from Malaysia Airlines has disappeared in the Indian Ocean. After the denunciation and withdrawal of the government, Ocean Infinity would be the company engaged in mid-August, 50 days after the relatives of the 44 members of the crew of the ARA San Juan will have done a camping in front of the Casa Rosada. And a year after the disappearance of the submarine, it would be 500 kilometers from the Argentine coast.

In addition to the irregularities, the background of the case is the possible links between the Navy and Devicenzi members, which would be the reason for the irregular hiring of an inexperienced company. The bridges that unite the members of the evaluation commission with the holder of Igeotest Geociencias SL are part of the story of Devincenzi, an Argentinian who attended the Naval High School of Río Santiago in the late 1960s, who took volunteer in Antarctica and emigrated from countries on the eve of the return to democracy in 1983.
