It is the Asociación Pro Desarrollo del Norte, a practically new entity since it was founded in August 2020, but the resources were received six months later, in February 2021.
Something similar happened in the case of Hugo Javier González, governor of Central. On this occasion, the politician also gave G. 5,100 million to the NGO Fundación Centro Integral de Apoyo Profesional (CIAP).
Last November 1. González was charged by the Public Ministry for the alleged embezzlement of those resources. For this reason, it is suspected that the Ramírez case would also follow the same course.
SIMILAR CASES
Esther Roa, a social activist and lawyer, said that the Ramírez case is very similar to that of González. He said that many more governments would have committed the same crime.
“There is no coincidence between what was spent and what was done. The same modus operandi is repeated. The documentation raises doubts. There are invoices and disbursements belonging to the same day. These questions should be analyzed by the Public Ministry, “he said.
He described the Prosecutor’s Office as weak and manipulated by the political class. He affirmed that this situation causes civil society to be the one that must force the institutions to do their job.
“We are talking about a pandemic that claimed more than 16,000 deaths. It is in the hands of the Public Ministry to clarify this situation. We hope that an investigation will be initiated informally, otherwise, we citizens will file a complaint,” he warned.
NO ANSWERS
We communicated with the communication department of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, to find out about progress on this case, but we did not receive any answers.
RAMIREZ
César “Tigre” Ramírez gave his version of the events to various media outlets.
In his words, the works exist, and he invited the press to go to the department to verify the works.
“A modern health center was built with pipes to receive oxygen. For the first time they will have hospitalizations. It is a work that benefits more than 50,000 people in the Yasy Kañy district,” he said.
Given the continuation of the publications, Ramírez described the journalist who wrote the series of investigations as a “coimero and weeper”.
He even accused him of constantly visiting Hugo Velázquez, Vice President of the Republic.
