In the case initiated by the Federal Public Revenue Administration (AFIP), Chamber A of the The National Chamber of Economic Crimes confirmed the indictments issued to Cristóbal Manuel López, Carlos Fabián De Sousa, Inversora M&S SA and OIL M&S SA, as perpetrators of the crime of misappropriation of taxes and social security resources, and the seizure of the sums of $30.000.000 and $250.000.000 respectively.
On the other hand, the Court revoked the partial dismissal that had been ordered for those cases in which the amounts improperly appropriated, depending on whether it was the social security or tax, were considered separately within the same month and thus the amount established by the tax criminal law as constituting a crime was not exceeded.
In this regard, he explained, following the criteria of the agency, that it is irrelevant whether the withholdings or collections had been made due to tax obligations of various kinds as long as they had occurred within the course of a month.
Furthermore, the The Court confirmed the prosecution of Mariano Luis Frutos, Cristóbal Manuel López, Carlos Fabián de Sousa and the firm Telepiu SA (C5N) as authors of the aforementioned crime and the seizure of the sums of $23.000.000 in respect of the first of them and $25.000.000 in relation to the rest.
