The alleged network of diversions occurred through the purchase of airplanes, helicopters and patrols at surcharges, as well as simulations in the acquisition of these aircraft.
In the first report of the Federal Public Security Secretariat, In explaining the extinction of the Federal Police, to transfer its resources to the National Guard, the agency said it had detected irregularities, which were notified to the Ministry of Public Function.
Among the irregularities, the authorities pointed to an investigation into “embezzlement that represents more than 2 billion pesos”.
“It has been possible to identify a complex scheme of systemic corruption that has affected security and intelligence areas of the country,” says the report.
