Buenos Aires, February 26 (NA) - A subcomisario from San Vicente was detained in recent hours as part of an investigation into alleged irregularities linked to the district's Judicial Vehicle Deposit, where shortages and replacement of auto parts in seized vehicles were detected. According to the Argentine News Agency, the case originated from suspicious maneuvers that, according to the investigation, included notable operational decisions: it is being investigated whether the official ordered the removal of police custody from the premises, leaving it unguarded at certain times. The investigation also includes testimonies describing a delicate sequence of events: the subcomisario reportedly anticipated that he would pass by the deposit to pick up auto parts 'for his vehicle,' while experts and the investigation confirmed missing parts and replacements in units under judicial custody. The operation included a raid and the intervention of a decentralized prosecutor's office, with the participation of Internal Affairs, in a line of work aimed at reconstructing how the deposit was managed, what controls existed, and if there were more involved parties. The case once again puts a spotlight on a recurring blind spot in districts: seizure deposits that accumulate vehicles, spare parts, and scrap with high resale value, where any relaxation of control can become a difficult-to-audit black box.
