The indictment of Mariela Parisi
Federal prosecutor Enrique Senestrari indicted Parisi, former dean of the School of Communication Sciences at UNC.
She is accused of fraudulent administration and breach of public official duties. The case was filed with Federal Court No. 3, presided over by Miguel Hugo Vaca Narvaja.
The investigation began after a complaint was filed in February of this year. It pointed to alleged misappropriation of funds and irregular hiring. The judiciary has not yet set a date for the questioning.
It is alleged that during Parisi's administration, school resources were used for personal expenses.
Among them are trips abroad with excessive per diems, purchases without bidding, and hiring of immediate family members.
