The commercial creditors of the oil company Vicentin gave up this Friday the payment offer made by the company before the resolution of the Supreme Court of Justice of Santa Fe to request the remission of the proceedings of the preventive contest and displace Judge Fabián Lorenzini, to whom they accused of “collusion”.
Lawyer Gustavo Feldman, who sponsors the commercial creditors of the group based in the Santa Fe city of Avellaneda, also stated that the situation of the civil and commercial judge of Reconquista is “very compromised”, and he did not rule out “that he may have to face some criminal charge”.
The Court of Santa Fe decided on Thursday to displace Judge Lorenzini, ordering him to submit the proceedings in order to be issued and suspending all procedural deadlines that had June 30 as the deadline.
Through Official Letter number 550, the highest Court of Santa Fe established that the summons request“once evacuated, the file must be forwarded so that this Court can be issued with the main records in sight,” to which he also added the decision to suspend “the terms that were running.”
Speaking to radio station LT9 in Santa Fe, Feldman assessed that The Vicentin cause “is a commitment to the social fabric, to the economic-financial plexus, to exchange policy, it compromises one of the few strategic activities that the national State has, which is the international marketing of grains, with all that that entails. : the collection and management of foreign exchange”.
For Feldman, Vicentin had “the explicit consent and collusion at this point of Judge Lorenzini”, whom he considered “mainly responsible for the point at which we have reached”, and said that he tolerated “that the proposal (of payment to creditors) contains the inducement to illegal conduct”.
He explained that the company’s offer induced creditors to “incur in the crime of aggravated evasion”, by receiving a credit without paying Income Tax.
He also accused Lorenzini of accepting that the Group liquidate the company Emulgrain SA, “which Vicentin wanted to sell, but could not, they did not authorize the sale of the share package, so they liquidated it.”
“Besides, the entire plan that has been underway for a long time to liquefy what remains of Vicentin in terms of Renova shares is already suspicious,” added Feldman.
for the lawyer, “The problem is that, if this ends in bankruptcy, which hopefully not, that original operation of Renova would also fall, with which we would be facing a situation of severe compromise for the hundreds of jobs that Vicentin has”.
In addition, he considered that what was done in the contest represents “a commitment to general public order such as has never been seen in the history of the province” of Santa Fe, for which he endorsed the decision of the Supreme Court of Justice.
“Here there is a confluence, as I think there has never been in the history of Santa Fe, of compromising the institutional situation and compromising the general public order. Here there are not the 1,700 creditors or the 800 or 900 defrauded by Vicentin “, he added.
In this line, Feldman said that “the Court also orders the suspension of all the terms (of the contest)”, with which he declared the payment offer made by Vicentin to fall.
“I do not think that a proposal that was born badly and continued to worsen can continue to survive. In this way, I do not imagine that the original proposal of Vicentin can be refuted,” he concluded.
