Catalino Miranda is on trial for allegedly providing false documents to obtain credit

The Office of the Attorney General (FGR) reported that the bus businessman Catalino Miranda was sent to court for the crime of forgery, for allegedly providing false financial documents to obtain a loan for more than $2.6 million in 2020.

The 5th Court of Inquiry evaluated the evidence provided by the Special Anti-Money Laundering Unit in the Prosecutor’s Office, in order to put the bus driver on trial.

“The actions were carried out by the collective transport employer in 2020,” explained the tax agency.

Another process similar to Miranda is also with José Braulio Miranda and Josué Adalberto Segovia (defendants present); and the accused, Adalberto Antonio Miranda; for the crimes of use and possession of false documents and forgery of materials. In this case, they are accused of having acted illegally in their positions as legal representatives of ACOSTES de El Salvador, SA de CV and the Asociación Cooperativa de Transporte de RL, by granting a loan for the amount of $1,800,000.00 , which they left to pay by foreclosing the mortgage on two buildings and to release 78 buses that were offered as collateral.
