Córdoba's Security Minister, Juan Pablo Quinteros, appointed Santiago Daniel Bolloli as the new head of the Highway Police.
The appointment comes three days after the scandal involving the arrest of the previous chief, Maximiliano Gabriel Ochoa Roldán, who is accused of leading a criminal network together with police officers, lawyers, and civilians.
The Security Ministry explained that before appointing Bolloli, “reports were requested from the Police and Penitentiary Conduct Tribunal, the General Directorate of Police Control and Investigations of Córdoba, and the Criminal Secretariat of the Superior Court of Justice regarding administrative records, disciplinary investigations for serious, very serious, or dismissible offenses, and participation in active criminal cases, none of which the appointed General Commissioner has on record in any of the aforementioned cases.”
