After filing the complaint with the court prosecutor for the alleged espionage, Senator Charles Carrera asked that the investigation be carried out by another prosecutor and not by Gabriela Fossati. “A prosecutor is not going to be able to carry out all this with the ramifications that it has had“He said in the extraordinary session of the Senate this Wednesday.
The Chamber of Senators is carrying out the session after the chats of the former head of presidential custody, Alejandro Astesiano, appeared that the Vertical Skies company asked him to put together “two files” with personal information to “tie” the legislators and prevent them from taking the complaint for the concession of the port to the company Katoen Natie to court.
“All these facts must be clarified. This is no longer that original case that investigated document falsification. This case already has a dimension of political espionage,” Carrera emphasized. “That there is an investigation and that it reaches the last consequences. We deserve the whole truth“, he added.
For his part, Mario Bergara said that the complaint “is sad.” “How sad to be discussing these things now with the amount of things that there are to solve. How sad, too, because we have to force ourselves into things that we thought would no longer happen in Uruguay.“, he added.
“What is the scope of this practice?” Bergara wondered. “Unfortunately this generates a blanket of doubts and suspicion. A feeling that we do not live in the world of guarantees. It is sad. Justice will rule how much is actually so, how much of what came out of Astesiano’s phone was really like that or how much was Astesiano’s own smoke“, held.
For his part, the nationalist senator, Jorge Gandini, said that “the fact deserves to be repudiated and rejected.” “We can all be subject to something of that nature,” he added.
“You have to tread lightly on some of the things that have been said. It is reprehensible that a company wants to influence and does it through a person,” he said. In any case, he added that “it is not proven” that the espionage “has been consummated.” “We want to stand in solidarity with the threat, with the mafia act of wanting to find out but not with the fait accompli as has been said.“, he claimed.
“Who is this company? Whose company is this?” He asked about Vertical Skies and then described it. “You have to Google this man. Mario Pannizza Vázquez, who lived in Boca Raton,” she described. “He has neither clients nor five thousand employees or anything and on top of that he even owes his credit card. This character must also be investigated, why does that person who cannot even pay his debts in the United States lives here. Hopefully this justice also finds this character“he added
“Hopefully there will be consequences and it will get to the bone but it must be said that from this the government has nothing to do with ithe exclaimed.
Another of those who spoke was the senator and leader of Cabildo Abierto, Guido Manini Ríos. “It has been said that this case is one of the most serious of those that has happened to the country since the restoration of democracy. Here there were very serious events in the past as well“, he assured.
