Silvina Batakis was targeted this Sunday for alleged irregular management at Banco Nación. As stated in the program Periodismo Para Todos (PPT), the president of this financial company hired her ex-husband, Héctor Javier Silva, for an important position without informing the board of directors of the connection between them and unilaterally appointed the manager to him . General, María del Carmen Barros, a millionaire’s salary.
This was revealed by journalist Cecilia Boufflet, specialized in economics, who dressed up as a tree, as she usually does to present her reports in the program broadcast by El Trece, and broke down the details of both situations. First, he pointed out that in the personnel list he sent to the board for signature in July, with appointments scheduled to begin in August, Batakis had “snuck in” Silva for system leadership “without notifying anyone.”
In addition, she pointed out that her ex-husband “will remain employed” if the official, who only served for a short time at the Ministry of Economy, leaves her position soon. “He is 59 years old and it is not a traditional addition to the bank for someone of that age to come in,” the journalist added.
“The entire board is upset because they were not notified and because they know that if this gets out it will be a scandal and they will all be stranded,” he concluded.
In parallel, Boufflet revealed that “Batakis Barros approved by letter, without consultation and without coordination with the board, a salary composed of bonuses, bonuses and others, totaling almost 9 million pesos.”
“Excuse me?” said the show’s host, Jorge Lanata, looking into the camera. Then he shouted, “Nine sticks!”
Boufflet clarified: “When he received his first payment, it was about $15,000.” As he explained, Batakis argued that “in other banks, including public ones, the CEO has a salary of more or less that amount.”
In addition, he said that Barros was in a relationship with Juan Manuel Romero, the head of the services department in the bank’s “Armored Drivers” division, who “doesn’t go to work very often” and who “was sued for using the company card to purchase of fuel used”. “
“Do you use your company card to buy gas for your car?” Lanata asked. Boufflet replied: “It has to be for your car, otherwise some people have made a small agreement with the gas station and can sell the vouchers.”
In this sense, he added that Romero “filed a report with the public prosecutor’s office regarding a criminal situation, because the only time he went to work he wanted to go to Bariloche in the Banco Nación cash van and give a ride to a friend.” .
“The Buenos Aires City Police, which was involved in the operation, has come forward, filed a complaint and there is a summary on the matter,” he slipped.
He concluded: “There is great confusion between the board of the bank and Batakis, who has so far protected María del Carmen Barros.”
“Among so many other things that have been purchased, there is also a contract with Pity the numerologist,” he concluded, promising to continue the topic in the coming days.
