Buenos Aires, February 6 (NA) — Argentine Federal Police corporal Miguel Montiel confirmed his complaint of alleged corruption in the Transport Superintendency and stated he is not 'afraid.' He expressed this in an interview with Splendid AM990: 'This corruption practice has been going on for years. Railway staff entered the chief's office as if it were their home.' Montiel also named a specific individual: 'The one who signs and approves requests is General Commissioner Omar Farías. Complaints were filed, but nothing happened. Farías controls everything; he told me he's unaware of the corruption. There are complaints, many anonymous.' 'I’ve never been threatened, and I’m not afraid. There are audio recordings and written evidence of their methods. I considered ending my police career, but they told me I shouldn’t be fired,' said Montiel, who chained himself to the Casa Rosada gates. According to Montiel, the Presidency contacted him and revealed a possible meeting with Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva. The officer said he never filed a formal complaint because he was told it 'wouldn’t help.' 'Costs were higher than they should have been,' he explained.
