In a relevant event reported to the Central Bank of Uruguay (BCU), the firm Baeremaecker and Perera Corredor de Bolsa S.A.notified that this Monday, October 31, it was notified of a “generic embargo carried out as preventive measure against the institution, Carlos Baeremaecke and Carlos Perera”.
The notification, signed by Perera, records that “the funds and securities belonging to the clients of the institution (on whose account and order we act in our capacity as stockbrokers) are not included in the aforementioned embargoby virtue of which they will not be affected in any way, remaining fully available to them for all purposes”.
The prosecutor for Economic and Complex Crimes Gilberto Rodríguez tries to determine who (or who) isand took between US$ 3 million and US$ 10 million from Baeremaecker and Perera Corredor de Bolsa. The company denounced that she was an unfaithful employee who did different tricks to withdraw money from customer accounts.
To retrace this path, Prosecutor Rodríguez requested to convene an interdisciplinary work team. The group will be made up of two officers from the Financial Crimes case (one of them follows the line of common crime and the other the line of money laundering, which implies knowing which crime was committed before because money laundering must have a prior offence) and members of the Information and Financial Analysis Unit (UIAF), National Secretariat for the Fight against Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (Senaclaft), Social Security Bank (bps), General Tax Directorate (DGI), the same Prosecutor’s Office.
The prosecutor will have to analyze, based on the evidence, if he formalizes only the “unfaithful employee” for fraud and/or money laundering, or if he also includes those responsible for the company in his accusation. as he knew The Observer, the stockbroker reached economic agreements with some of the savers (which is why they gave up filing a criminal complaint) and had conversations with several others.
