As is known, after the death of the first non -commissioned officer José Gabriel Munive Gurmendi after frustrating the assault on a grocery truck in La Victoria, one of his relatives – his brother, specifically – told the press that the bulletproof vest he carried had not been assigned by the police itself, but that he himself had bought it with his salary in a particular way and he did not have all the characteristics of protection.
This serious situation that has been dragging and that is extremely necessary for the troops has been contrasted and criticized with the purchase of luxurious and expensive high -end vehicles for the high controls of the police.
Speaking to the press, Malaver had already admitted that the State does not have enough bulletproof vests to cover the entire police force.
