Dated December 28, Attorney General María Bottini ordered the opening of the investigation after having carried out preliminary measures following the complaint filed byEstacimiento Santa Elena SA, against which Venancio had acted through various causes in which he demanded compensation for labor lawsuits. The first dates from 2016 when he claimed on behalf of a client a sum greater than $ 800 thousand pesos. Arbilla partially ruled in his favor but set the total sum at $ 25,266, in 2018. Then, he proceeded to seize assets and Venancio, in person, went to the place of the refrigerator to take a Caterpillar generator, which was auctioned in February 2019. The “winner” of the auction was Elías Simeoni, who paid $ 97,000 pesos for a generator worth $ 161,000.
“In this context, the lawyer José María Venancio, knowing that the property in question did not belong to the defendant in the labor lawsuit, but to another company (Ganadera Santa Elena SRL), proceeds to indicate that it should be seized , also knowing that said asset had a value that far exceeded the value of the debt thatEstacimiento Santa Elena SA had with its client “, indicated the prosecutor in her request.
It did not go unnoticed by the justice that there were similar actions (embargoes) with the endorsement of Arbilla that happened in other lawsuits, where elevators, refrigerators were taken and it was even evaluated with removing a shed, something that finally did not happen for logistical reasons. While Judge Arbilla was challenged by Indalo’s attorneys, her deputy ordered a visual inspection of the rest of the assets. The police delegation sent found that the addresses provided by Venancio either did not exist or were totally imprecise in order to carry out the judicial order. That was what they reported on December 26 to the head of the Esquel Investigative Police, so it is unknown who owns those assets that could not have been “lost” or subtracted from the asset given that a general inhibition weighs on the companies of goods issued by the federal court of Capital Federal for the Oil Combustibles case.
Bottini pointed out that Venancio, in principle, deceived the judge to get hold of goods much more valuable than the lawsuits he was filing and that he concealed that his property corresponded to another company name. All at the same time as the preventive detention of Cristóbal López and Fabián De Sousa, which they recognized “prevented them from exercising their constitutional right to defense in court”. “In all this maneuver, Mr. Silvano Simeoni participated, in a necessary way, while the property in question, when transferred to the city of Esquel, was left in a property of his property, and then he himself acquired the property from a price certainly lower than the market value, and then offer it for sale at a value close to the market value ”, the prosecutor stressed. A compromising fact: Simeoni was also the “witness” that Venancio contributed in different cases. But what the prosecution suggests is that the entire maneuver had already been denounced by the defendant’s lawyer in July of this year to Judge Arbilla, who ignored the complaint, which is why he is charged, in principle, breach of the duties of a public official. That can be aggravated as the investigation proceeds. The same as the complaint against the judge that is already processed in the local Magistracy Council.
