The Provincial police office confirmed that they dispatched a team to Ruiz’s residence; however, the lieutenant governor was not there. They instead spoke with her husband and detailed all the necessary precautions being taken.
“We let him know that this headquarters was available should any unforeseen circumstances or requests arise concerning her safety,” explained Flores. “We also provided him with the phone number of the Police Commission member in charge of her case.” He added that so far, there had been no incidents or disturbances
threatening Ruiz’s residence or personal safety.
Allegations Against Lieutenant Governor: Truck Purchase Comes Under Scrutiny
Among the measures being investigated is the acquisition of a 0 kilometer Toyota SW4 from a dealership in Neuquén worth 72 million pesos.
Ruiz reportedly received a warning from the Plottier Automotive Property Registry and was required to disclose the source of funds used to purchase the Toyota.
Her defense is that she sold her previous truck for 54 million pesos and that the rest was from her personal savings.
“A truck ended up being paid for on a credit card and masked through purchases made also from family members. From the moment I owned a Ranger until I bought another one,” Attorney Carlos Brotman said.
Ruíz has maintained her innocence, stating, “I have disclosed my assets with the provincial notary. I’m not hiding anything”
