Overview
- Federal prosecutor Ramiro González imputed Demian Reidel and opened a criminal probe Friday, placing the case before Judge Daniel Rafecas.
- The inquiry centers on corporate account No. 338402 and charges from March 2025 to February 2026 that appear outside the company’s purpose, including duty‑free buys of US$5,957 and about 56 million pesos in cash advances.
- González asked the bank and Nucleoeléctrica to identify every cardholder and user tied to the account and to provide transaction‑level details for each purchase.
- Reidel later appeared voluntarily, denied making the questioned purchases, named his lawyers, and asked for a forensic review to isolate his card’s hotel and travel expenses from other users’ charges.
- The case began with an expense report sent to Congress after a public‑records request, examines possible crimes such as fraud and embezzlement, and now also looks at board‑level controls as the company says it ended corporate‑card use for travel.
