translated from Spanish: A councillor collected the IFE and was denounced by the neighbors

The councilor of the Municipality of Salta, was in the interest of justice, because the IFE (Emergency Family Income) was scored and collected, arranged as a palliative due to the impossibility of working, to the sectors most affected as a result of the quarantine imposed by the National Government. That is why an official should not access such a benefit, but this did not prevent the salted official from charging the $10,000 pesos awarded. Now, Criminal Prosecutor Simesen asked The Guarantee Court No. 4 to go on a mistrial trial.
