According to sources in the Senate presidency, the former vice president “made million-dollar payments for works that made no progress. More than 180 million pesos were paid, the works are unfinished and the progress of works does not coincide with the million-dollar budget spent by Michetti.” In this, Télam reported that it was found that “the company was not a Supplier of the Senate and never asked for the enabling of the work”, as well as the fact that “millionly advances were delivered through irregular documents.” The million-dollar advances delivered for financial advances and work certificates do not match the progress of the same,” the sources consulted said.
