The Commission for the Fight against Drug Trafficking, Related and Serious Illicit, whose chairmanship corresponds to deputy Tito Ibarrola (PPH-Central), issued an opinion rejecting the bill “That modifies and expands articles 18, 23, 49 and 50 of Law No. 5,876/2017 – Administration of Seized and Forfeited Assets”.
The purpose of this is to provide the National Secretariat of Seized Assets with more and better legal tools, in order to improve its collaboration with other institutions; especially, with those who work in public health and with municipalities. The head of the estate reported that after collecting opinions, reports and conducting exhaustive analysis, it was decided to reject the proposal.
At another point, it was decided to postpone the analysis of the bill “That creates the National Fund for Economic and Social Development (FONADES), financed through the result of the seizure of assets carried out by the National Secretariat of Seized and Forfeited Assets (SENABICO) ”.
“We decided to request information and opinions from the institutions involved in one way or another, with the bill, to later issue an opinion,” declared parliamentarian Ibarrola.
The initiative points to the creation of a national trust fund from which resources are allocated to programs and projects that truly benefit the population. This proposal is from deputy Andrés Rojas Feris (PLRA-Concepción), and plans to allocate these resources to FONADES.
They must be distributed as follows: 20% to the National Treasury, for programs and projects to prevent organized crime; 20% to be distributed among the municipalities in the range of lower resources; 20% for the capitalization of the Agricultural Credit for Habilitation; 20% for the National Fund for Health; 10% for the Rural Investment Fund for Sustainable Development (FIDES); and 10% for the Basic Consumer Basket Product Price Stabilization Fund.
