It is the only relationship I have with this vehicle,” said the councilor in an interview with the Infórmate Chaco media outlet.

“This vehicle is not my property, I do not have a vehicle, I have not bought any car so far, therefore, there is none registered in my name and that can be verified in the corresponding systems,” he said.
The councilor argued that this type of information is intended to “affect her image” for being from the MAS. She announced that she will present the corresponding defenses.
For their part, members of Diprove reported on the day of the kidnapping of the motorcycle driver that this action was carried out due to suspicions of possible irregularities that should be investigated.
During the week, Diprove carried out a series of control operations in the country, after journalists from Chile revealed in a report that cars stolen in their country were interned in Bolivia for sale, in which police officers were involved.
