Vania Pérez Morales, president of the National Anti-Corruption System, revealed how former executive secretary Roberto Moreno Herrera asked for money from international organizations saying that it was to support the System and never notified the previous presidents of this institution of this.
Mexico City, October 23 (However).– Vania Pérez Morales, president of the National Anticorruption Systemdenounced how within this institution he has found evidence of alleged acts of corruption that point to the former executive secretary of this system, Roberto Moreno Herrerawho resigned from his position last February amid allegations of having used public resources for his benefit.
“There are indications of possible acts of corruption. This is truly something to cry about, to throw out of the window. It has been one disappointment after another. About two weeks ago we requested a forensic audit from the Superior Audit of the Federation due to the anomalies that have been found during the management of the former technical secretary that the presidents, the two previous ones, did not review,” Pérez Morales explained to “Los Periodistas”, a SinEmbargo Al program Air.
—What are the names of the technical secretary and the two presidents who did not review it? —he was asked.
—The two presidents who have had their management are Jorge Alatorre and the next one is Magdalena Rodríguez and he is Roberto Moreno.
—What acts of corruption were they?
—There are some things that I am not going to mention to you now because they are being investigated, but the public ones, for example: money was requested from international organizations saying that this money was going to be given to support the National Anti-Corruption System and its governing body was never notified. In other words, he never told his bosses, ‘Hey, we have 10 million pesos that the UN is giving us,’ and then this was used, from my point of view, for discretionary activities without reporting to the administrative area, without reporting to his bosses.
Vania Pérez indicated that the members of the System’s governing body do not have any employment relationship but rather a compensation for fees. “They just left it so that we wouldn’t have the possibility of possibly getting something dirty into it, but the law did not take into account that eventually the person who could do something dirty was the technical secretary himself.”
“And then, what happens? Well, we have presidents who did not even live here and who went around there from time to time, the technical secretary did not give them an office. I am the first president who has an office in the National Anti-Corruption System, that is, they did not even give an office to their president and well then he was telling a story to each of them about what he did,” she noted.
Pérez Morales maintained that our country requires a solid anti-corruption mechanism that could be this or another, “but it is clear to me today that this has not particularly worked at the national level.”
“I am not going to validate that there are people who are being aviators. The National Anti-Corruption System, the Executive Secretariat has 120 million pesos,” he said. “We earned 87 (thousand pesos per month), the technical secretary earned something like 170 thousand pesos per month and each of its owners on average 150 thousand pesos per month because they decided.”
And he pointed out: “So, in a country where the minimum wage is 200 pesos a day while these citizens are earning an average of 3,000, the least we could do is start working. There is no other option.”
