The leader of the Renovador Front and councilor of Unión por la Patria (UxP), Facundo Albini and his father, Claudio – a former official of the Chamber of Deputies of Buenos Aires – will remain imprisoned while the judicial process once morest them takes place.
Both are accused of being participants in the alleged illegal maneuver with the management of the debit cards of the Buenos Aires Legislature.
Chocolate Rigau Cause: the massist leaders will remain in prison
The Judge of Guarantees of La Plata, Guillermo Atencio, rejected a request for release presented by the defense of the accused.
He considered that both politicians linked to provincial massism would be part of an illicit association that was dedicated to defrauding the State through the management of the salaries of personnel hired in the Chamber of Deputies of Buenos Aires, Clarín reported.
“They would not be the bosses, but they would be members of the organization,” adds the Buenos Aires morning newspaper.
In the criminal jurisdiction of La Plata they explained that “(the request for release made by the defense) is denied due to the characteristics of the fact, the seriousness, the expected sentence and because it is considered that, if the sentence is passed, it will be effectively carried out” .
In this way, the procedural situation of both is complicated, since they should remain detained until the oral trial. And if a court ratifies the presumptions that the investigators have presented so far, they will remain in a cell for a while longer.
The Chocolate Rigau cause
The person responsible for the money extraction task was Julio “Chocolate” Rigau, who was arrested on September 9 with 48 pieces of plastic in his possession and 2.2 million pesos in a consortium bag. He was in the ATM boxes of a Bapro branch in the heart of the provincial capital.
It is presumed in the investigation that this leader of La Plata Peronism was a link in a chain that ascended to higher-ranking political leaders. Facundo and Claudio Albini (who served as director of Personnel for Deputies) appear in those upper echelons.
