Role of the Inprosol company
The indictment indicates that the Inprosol company lacked real economic activity, operational structure and workforce. Despite this, he declared minimum amounts in taxes, without correspondence with the high financial volumes he managed.
The company reported purchases for RD$7,882,304.98 and sales for RD$5,834,000.00, with 49.24% of the latter made to companies linked to the criminal scheme, specifically Transcore Latam SRL.
The Public Ministry document establishes that Inprosol depended directly on Transcore, without evidence of additional clients or independent commercial activity, configuring an instrumental corporate relationship aimed at the diversion and laundering of public funds.
Likewise, a financial analysis carried out on an account opened on September 8, 2022 determined that the company mobilized RD$28,268,425.96 in inflows and RD$28,169,246.99 in outflows, showing circular behavior and without capital accumulation, typical of money laundering operations.
99.57% of the entries came directly from Transcore Latam SRL, while the remaining 0.43% corresponded to minor transfers from Sociedad Latina SRL and the defendants Carlos José Peguero Vargas and Julio César Rodríguez Domínguez, both linked to José Ángel Gómez (Jochi Gómez).
In the file, the Public Ministry indicates that, through WhatsApp messages sent to the investigating body, Carlos José Peguero Vargas, supposed majority partner of Inprosol, recognized that the true owner and decision-maker of the company was José Ángel Gómez Canaán, who gave instructions on payments, transfers and accounting operations.
Likewise, Jochi Gómez himself appeared before the Public Ministry as the de facto owner of Inprosol, confirming his functional and economic connection with the company.
The evidence shows that Inprosol SRL was created with the purpose of serving as an intermediary between Transcore and other companies in the network, simulating technological services operations to justify the circulation of illicit funds. This scheme made it possible to conceal the origin and destination of the capital obtained through fraud in public procurement within the Camaleón case.This article was originally published in The Day
