Raid at Córdoba Legislature over irregular contracts case

On Friday the 14th, the judiciary raided administrative areas of the Córdoba Legislature after detecting signs of irregularities in personnel contracts. The operation focused on the Salaries and Administration offices, where key documentation was seized to reconstruct internal management. The measure once again exposed control deficits that Córdoba's Peronism has left unsolved despite repeated public warnings.

The intervention involved police personnel and technical teams from the Public Prosecutor's Office who sought records of appointments made in recent months. Investigators secured contracts, internal regulations, and rules that will make it possible to identify potential patterns of irregular hiring. The operation caused institutional concern because it was carried out in sensitive areas that should demonstrate maximum transparency.

The origin of the case is linked to the case of a "phantom employee", whose attempt at irregular collection had revealed serious failures in administrative circuits. The scheme was uncovered when a cashier noticed inconsistencies in the documentation presented to collect a recent salary. Since that episode, the investigation has expanded due to suspicions that there could be systematic use of questionable contracts.

Opaque management in the Legislature

The Legislature, presided over by Myrian Prunotto, faces growing scrutiny due to the lack of precise information about its internal operations. The absence of public reports on appointment criteria fuels doubts about the administration led by the current leadership. The raided areas showed that procedures do not offer minimum guarantees to safeguard state resources.

The detected opacity adds to previous complaints that warned of inconsistencies in contract control and oversight systems. Investigators maintain that the complexity of the internal circuit may have facilitated the hiring of personnel without adequate controls. That lax structure enabled political agreements that were executed without the supervision required by public administration.

Prunotto has come under public scrutiny because the intervened areas depend on decisions that should be subject to strict audits. The legislative leadership did not provide details about the reasons that led to the raid or about the current control mechanisms. The lack of official communication only deepened distrust regarding the administration of the provincial legislative body.

Document analysis and next steps

The prosecutor's office has begun examining the seized contracts and regulations to determine the real extent of the detected irregularities. Experts are seeking to establish how many hires were authorized without sufficient verification and which areas omitted essential controls. The technical analysis will determine whether the case is an isolated error or part of a broader scheme within the administrative structure.

So far, no new defendants have been confirmed, although additional responsibilities are not ruled out once the seized material is reviewed. The judiciary aims to reconstruct the complete traceability of each appointment to identify failures in the chain of signatures and authorizations.
