The fact came to light in the accountability of the 2011 administration at the Hospital Antonio Scaravelli. The Court of Auditors of Mendoza has records of payments for the purchase of cleaning supplies, library, biomedical and disposable goods through direct purchase mode, "but lacked the invoices and signed receipt proving conclusively they received the products."

The lack of certainty on the income of the cleaning elements, for example, led the Watchdog to consult those responsible for receiving them and appropriately "said it had not received the goods" Balcor SA, Maita SA, Zuin, M.Eva, Beltran and MADAF Logistics SA, they provide inputs to the Hospital, records show.

Thus, the Court concludes that "these elements never entered the hospital", even though the authorities signed the relevant documents and bills were paid.

In most of the records in which deficiencies are found, the report suggests that "the existence of refer was observed, but there was no signature of the competent authority and in other cases lacked the explanatory label" and therefore “the person responsible for the reception of the goods could not be identified.”

Regarding biomedical and disposable supplies, "the reception invoices were unsigned and in other cases with signature without clarification." A similar situation was observed with the purchase of stationery items.

Given this situation, the Court of Auditors of Mendoza decided to apply charges for goods not paid to four officials, jointly and severally, for a total of $ 480.438,23. It Is the Administrative Manager Gerardo Nahin, Directors Executives Guillermo and Gustavo Ferro Perone, and Paul Nicholas Frassinelli Welfare Manager.

But It Does Not End There

In addition, the same officials were fined for similar irregularities, this time related to the procurement of transport. Good were also paid which also had no evidence to determine who has carried out the delivery.

It is that according to the Mendoza Court during the 2011administration, there were records of payment or settlement for the supplier Di Prima Roberto, for the transfer of patient documentation, material and packages, which lacked documentation confirming that indeed the service did not take place; i.e. they were not "duly endorsed by the service provider, the hospital authorities and the beneficiaries of the service."

The penalty in this case, amounted to $ 7,000, divided among the officials mentioned above and as follows: Gustavo Perone, $ 1,000.00; Pablo Nicolas Frassinelli, $ 1,000.00; William Ferro, $ 2,000.00 and Gerardo Nahin $ 5,000.00.
