Rosario Robles. They detect the route of the millionaire detours of “The Master Scam”
For the crimes of organized crime and money laundering, a federal judge issued a new arrest warrant against the former head of the Ministry of Social Development, Rosario Robles Berlanga, held in the Santa Martha Acatitla prison.
According to federal government sources, this Friday the arrest warrant in the Santa Martha Acatitla jail will be completed for the aforementioned crimes; organized crime warrants informal preventive detention.
Currently, Robles Berlanga is being processed for the crime of improper use of the public service, for the alleged diversion of more than 5 billion pesos.
Federal authorities found the route of the money from the millionaire detours of the Master swindler which had international reach.
Federal sources confirmed that the arrest warrant issued this Thursday against Rosario Robles, former head of the Secretariat of Social Development (Sedesol), for organized crime and money laundering, derived from a complaint filed since September 11, 2019 by the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF).
According to the investigation folder FED / SEIDO / UEIORPIFAM-CDMX / 0001220/2019, a large part of the money diverted in the Master Scam left the public coffers in cash and by transfers of values to private homes.
Likewise, the FIU detected that other deposits were made abroad, for which the authorities requested data from countries such as Spain and Panama to quantify them.
In the complaint filed by the FIU and filed in the Specialized Unit for Investigation of Operations with Resources of Illicit Origin, Forgery or Alteration of Currency, they are also indicated as responsible Emilio Zebadúa and Ramón Sosamontes, former senior officer and former head of the office of Sedesol and the Secretariat of Territorial and Urban Agrarian Development (Sedatu), respectively.
The sources consulted confirmed that the UIF requested to be recognized as a victim in the case, in which this Friday the arrest warrant against Robles will be completed.
Since last year, Robles has been held in the Santa Martha prison and linked to a process for improper exercise of public service in the case of the Master Scam because the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) pointed out not to avoid millionaire deviations, despite knowing the irregularities with which they were committed.
