“I am a complete stranger to their companies. I did not pray for him in the state insurance policyAlberto Fernández said in the written defense presented to the court. So, he took it off of his friend Héctor Martínez Sosa and rejected any strategy that favored him. Despite the effort, two inspectors report that he entered Clarionthey say that The broker received 42.2% of the contracts under investigation. It also appears with Bachelier SA, the main company from which it receives policies, in five major groups of allowed them to receive 1,959,941,865 million pesos in commissions.
Federal Judge Julián Ercolini investigated the former president, broker Martínez Sosa and his wife and Fernández’s former secretary, María Cantero, for alleged acts of corruption. The list of defendants includes the former head of Nación Seguros SA, Alberto Pagliano, broker Pablo Torres García and Federico Alejando D’Angelo Campos.
When the case began, the court decided that the management under analysis was not only carried out in ANSES, under the leadership of Fernanda Raverta, but that the contracts signed with Nación Seguros They are also made in 45 companies and government agencies that depend on the State.
A sentence Judge Ercolini alerted and said the following in one of the decisions: “The contract of insurance that is the subject of this Agreement will be made between the Company and Nación Seguros – Central Company, Control Channel Companies Marketing – accepting that the Company can initiate the selection of the intermediary if it is convenient for their needs. It would be the starting point of a strategy that would have caused damage to the State.
In this way, the scam with the guarantee and its guarantee by intermediaries is advanced to the first example, which is to determine the total number of organizations we are talking about. An analysis carried out by Nación Seguros SA, recorded that 45 signed a total of 25 contracts for the contract of insurance..
What is federal justice discussing? The influence of the intermediaries and the decree 823/2021 signed by then President Alberto Fernández, which forced all the general administration to contract exclusively with Nación Seguros SA. For the researchers, the second step of the maneuver responds to the influence of the middlemen.
Two news
Them Financial statement of Nación Seguros SA list all the insurers that participate in the strategy under investigation and which departments are in the National Assembly; Central and State Agencies, State Agencies and Agencies under any state participation, sign contracts with “description of producers/intermediaries, by the highest party.”
He has risen a first description of the 25 main intermediaries who received the largest number of commissions from the government of Alberto Fernández.
The report analyzed 67% of the first companies that allow the middle of the insurance brokers. To complete the remaining 33%, federal judge Julián Ercolini request a report from the General Syndicature of the Nation (SIGEN).
Based on the judge’s opinion, SIGEN made a list of 81 manufacturers that appear in official state records. The second number that comes out of that report is accessed Clarionthat’s the thing 33 works directly without the need for an intermediary.
It is exactly one of the central points of the court that Julián Ercolini tries to open: If it is proven that insurance brokers agree in all the contracts under analysis (45).
The one who intervened the most
When the second form called “Foundation of the midfielders” was checked, it was informed that Héctor Martínez Sosa – friend of Alberto Fernández – He is the most influential person in his role as a broker in personal capacity, that is, to obtain policies for Héctor Martínez Sosa CIA SA and for seven other manufacturers.
A broker friend of the former President worked as a broker for Garrido Norberto Matias, Bachellier SA, Calvo Emanuel Raul Andres, Levelar SA, Salim Fernando Carlos.
Those prime numbers place him in a prominent position compared to other midfielders. But there is another fact that the Justice is looking at with special attention. The criminal file that investigates the administration of the alleged violation of the State, includes other documents: all the contracts made by Martínez Sosa.
This first cut records of organizations, State agencies that pay commissions to insurance brokers. They represent 67% and an international value of 2,315,868,642 pesos.
These are: National Gendarmerie ($1,617,740,243), Ministry of Social Development ($239,621,093), Federal Police ($215,885,324), YPF SA ($141,854,216), Argentine Air Navigation Company ($39,777,692), Ministry of National Defense ($35,28) ( $24,912,641), UTN ($352,593), House of Representatives ($296,514).
But the court asked to complete the list by SIGEN. From there it appears that the total government of Alberto Fernández paid 3,453,302,777 pesos for the 45 contracts under investigation.
A friend of the former president, with more commitments
The following information shows that Héctor Martínez Sosa received 19 contracts, which makes him the only one to collect. 42.2% have their role as an intermediary.
What contracts do you keep? With the following: National Highways ($10,450,624), National Gendarmerie ($254,091,184), Federal Police ($23,610,992), Corredores Viales SA ($30,260,148), Ministry of Tourism ($7,200,451) ($7,200,451) , Ministry of Public Affairs ($5,38) , Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship ($2,437,703), Ministry of Security ($5,895,230), Supreme Court of Justice ($5,027,340).
The list continues: National Fund for the State Institute of Arts ($882,845), National Central Institute Single Director of AB ($272,122), Airport Security Police ($8,359,565), Argentine Naval District ($2,255,572) , Society of State Mint ($9,412,266), Federal Argentine Police Inspectorate ($14,548), Central Bank ($3,128,461), Health Services Administration ($689,195), University of Buenos Aires ($104,742) and National Highway ($10,450,624).
They are not the only numbers that favor the broker friend of Alberto Fernández. In its analysis, Nación Seguros SA ranked as number two of the most profitable brokers.
However, there is a fact that is ordered on the “Top five” made by the public body: Bachellier SA, which is the head of the list, and Martínez Sosa always appear together, in the hiring of five organizations (Gendarmeria , PSA, Federal Police, Regional and Ministry of Defense).
So, between the two of them they keep the most representative accounts and 1,959,941,865 pesos in commissions: more than half of the total paid by the State.
Alberto’s defense of his friend
The former president said himself in writing about his relationship with Martínez Sosa. He explained that “He is the husband of my ex-secretary, María Cantero. They have been a couple for thirty years” and revealed that with him “I have a friendly relationship” but that “he inherited from his father a company that was, at the end of the 1980s, the largest insurance broker in Argentina.”
He then noted that Martínez Sosa “He did not begin to realize the dangers of the State when I became President. He has always dealt with all the governments of all different political parties.. I am a complete stranger to their companies. “I’m not begging him for a government insurance policy.”
In the defense that he tried in the brief that was told to Judge Ercolini, he added: “He never asked me to do it. “I have no business relationship with Héctor Martínez Sosa.”
He admitted, however, that he owes him since 2010, “which is always made clear in all the declarations of assets that I have sworn that I put forward.”
