Overview
- The lawyers Roberto Herrero and Mariano Di Giuseppe filed a federal complaint requesting an investigation of Alberto Fernández, former housing minister Jorge Ferraresi and businesswoman Lorena González del Valle over alleged irregularities in Procrear tenders.
- Lorena González del Valle, a former Gran Hermano contestant, said she had a pre‑presidency relationship with Fernández and contacted him during the pandemic to seek help for stalled construction work.
- According to her account, Fernández connected her with then–housing minister Jorge Ferraresi, who suggested her company, Niro Construye S.A., submit bids under the Procrear housing program and indicated they would be prioritized.
- Company information and reporting state Niro Construye won four of nine Procrear bids and built housing projects including 240 homes in Esteban Echeverría, 512 in Wilde, and complexes in Avellaneda, with additional works in Luján and Martín Coronado.
- González del Valle claims the State later failed to pay what was owed, saying roughly $50 million remained unpaid and asserting her firm was defrauded, allegations that have not been independently substantiated.
