The director of the Information System of the Ministry of the Interior, Commissioner General Fabricio Fagúndez, appears mentioned in the chats on the cell phone of Alejandro Astesiano, a former presidential custodian charged as the leader of a network for the sale of false passports that operated from the headquarters of the Executive Power.
According to data revealed by the program Nothing to loseof M24, Astesiano and Fagúndez chatted in April of this year. In the conversation, the officer allegedly asked him for a list of names to create users, so that they could access the databases of the Ministry of the Interior.
“List with ID and mail and we enable them,” Fagúndez wrote, to which Astesiano responded with a “thank you.”
Fagundez, in charge of the Public Security Management System (SGSP), was also in charge of releasing an internal investigation that sought to determine, precisely, whether there were police officers who entered the files of senators Charles Carrera and Mario Bergara irregularly: These last two would have wanted to follow a security and surveillance company based in Miami, whose director contacted Astesiano.
As reported by the newspaper The Observer, the police chief allegedly exchanged favors with Astesiano. The investigation that Fagúndez carried out concluded that there were no irregular entries in the Bergara file, but that an official from the National Directorate of Migrations, who performs duties in Aceguá, did enter the Carrera file.
