The La Plata Federal Prosecutor's Office must analyze the request presented by the Chamber of Companies for Traffic Control and Administration of Infracts of the Argentine Republic (CECAITRA) to investigate the alleged links between businessman Leandro Camani and a supposed narco from Rosario. The president of the AFA stated before the prosecutor that Camani would have requested authorization to install new speed camera systems on routes and accesses managed by CEAMSE. Contreras had a criminal record for qualified robbery and would have been mentioned in connections with Rosario narco gangs. The business entity noted that the fact does not, in itself, constitute direct criminal liability for the head of Secutrans, but considered it relevant to investigate the environment and possible connections to dispel suspicions. In its presentation, CECAITRA also mentioned accusations of a supposed pattern of behavior attributed to the businessman: promoting criminal and media complaints against third parties, making serious allegations, and using these presentations as a mechanism to pressure for economic or commercial benefits. In parallel, the file initiated from the complaint by Claudio Tapia continues. Among the possible measures are registry reports, analysis of communications, and reconstruction of the temporal sequence between requests, denials, and complaints. The case occurs in a context in which the speed camera business represents a significant source of income for municipalities and operating companies, which increases the political and economic sensitivity of any dispute related to its expansion or control. The Prosecutor's Office will define the scope of the investigation and whether it is appropriate to advance to new procedural measures.
