Overview
- A federal ruling by Judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado processed nine defendants and identified Enersa-linked officials José Gervasio Laporte, Alejandro Cis, and Marcelo Morales as principal recipients of alleged bribes.
- Recovered communications from the Tórtul brothers span December 2016 to April 2024 and include explicit money references, such as a message citing a planned payment of “1.1 million” for “Negro Bordet.”
- The dossier comprises 25,557 pages of chats, audios, and photos extracted with Cellebrite, and investigators consider the material probative in the ongoing case.
- A forensic report incorporated into the case estimates illicit payments at about $7.6 million, tied to Securitas contracts with the provincial energy company Enersa.
- Gustavo Bordet has publicly denied direct involvement and has not been charged, while other figures named in the chats, including Hugo Ballay and Edgardo Kueider, dispute the references, with Kueider’s extradition from Paraguay still unresolved.
