Front-Among senators Daniel Caggiani, Alejandro Sánchez, Sebastián Sabini, Charles Carrea, Sandra Lazo and José Carlos Mahía sent a request for access to information to ministers Luis Alberto Heber (Interior) and Francisco Bustillo to find out the mechanisms by which they were granted the Uruguayan passport to Sebastián Enrique Marset Cabrera.
The FA legislators request to know if Sebastián Marset Cabrera managed the passport application in 2019, and if so, “they ask to be sent a copy of the file and to specify the reasons for their denial.”
They request to be specified the “administrative procedure that is followed when the passport is requested by a person residing outside the Republic” and “if it existed at the time of initiating the respective procedure for the issuance of the passport, requisition and/or notification red from INTERPOL of Mr. Marset Cabrera”.
“It is necessary to point out that the information required is not of a reserved or confidential nature, not being, therefore, within the exceptions established by the current regulations, which are of strict interpretation”, consider the legislators.
