Supreme Court dismissed Cendoya’s former secretary for destroying documentation

Sorrentino worked in commission with Cendoya at Ursec and on June 1, 2020, when he no longer belonged to the institution, he entered to tour the offices, check a piece of furniture and destroy official documentation in a paper shredding machine. According to the opinion of the Supreme Court of Justice, Sorrentino breached the Code of Ethics of the Public Function and the Statute of the Judicial Official for withdrawing files, proceedings, documents without authorization.

The case of Nicolás Cendoya arose when Sorrentino entered Ursec and an official who saw him informed the authorities, who, after reviewing the cameras, reconstructed the steps he had taken inside the office. His conduct aroused suspicion and led to a criminal complaint filed the following day by the president of Ursec, Mercedes Aramendía. This led to one of the three crimes of abuse of functions that the Justice charged against Cendoya and the former president of the unit, Gabriel Lombide.among other officials.

Prosecutor Diego Pérez understood that Cendoya and the other hierarchs are responsible for three irregular acts: the destruction of Ursec documentation, the procedure by which the Palmitas FM (Soriano) radio was enabled to operate, and the granting of a community radio in Salto that operated with a power greater than that enabled.
