Four years later, there is no gold, much less silver. But there are a lot of people claiming their savings because they claim to have been scammed.
In July of this year, the Superintendency of Banking and Insurance (SBS) intervened in the savings and credit cooperative Latino Perú Limitada, founded in January 2015, according to Public Records, under the name Cooperativa de Ahorro y Crédito Coopebank Perú Limitada.
The SBS took this measure because, after supervision, and despite the accounting adjustments, it detected a negative equity amounting to almost 23 million soles (- S/22,756,182.01) in this entity.
The Superintendency concluded that the loss of social capital and the cooperative reserve had occurred. A month later, in August, he declared the dissolution of Latino Perú.
COMPLAINT
And so, many people have been left without money. This is the case of Pedro Navarro, who deposited 200 thousand soles, his and his father’s savings.
Pedro Navarro, Latino Perú cooperative member, said that first they deposited one hundred thousand soles in that cooperative, and then another 100 thousand soles more. “They did not pay us, they did not have financial solvency, they told us that in July of this year, but the SBS told us that the cooperative is bankrupt,” he assured.
