Illegal sale of land: "There are officials who are not alien"

After the request of the Front of All of an extraordinary session to form a commission that seeks to clarify the situation regarding the illegal sale of land of which dozens of families would have been victims, the lawyer Sergio Roldán assumed the defense of the only defendant in the legal case , Claudio Peralta, and pointed to the municipality for the events that occurred.

In this context, the Municipality "withdrew" from what happened and through a statement issued this weekend, through the Legal and Technical Undersecretary's Office, made itself available to the intervening prosecutor's office, the Deliberative Council of Olavarría and the councilors who require information related to this topic.

In communication with Infoeme, Roldán gave details about the only complaint that falls on his client and clarified that although "Peralta will have to take responsibility for the mistakes made", the Municipality will have to explain how the accused "had the license plate numbers to request the domain reports.

Roldán explained in great detail the process of selling a piece of land: “There is one very simple thing and that is that as a lawyer, if I have to advise on the sale of a piece of land to a client, I have to request a domain report from La Plata, this information is exclusive and confidential from the cadastre of the Municipality of Olavarría. The officials in this area know that they cannot give me information if I do not have a power of attorney under a notary public that notifies me as a proxy to start the process.”

The domain report is a four-digit number that is identified as a license plate and can be requested by a lawyer or notary public, "the two professional titles authorized to request the domain report," said the legal advisor. Cadastre must ask professionals for a power of attorney granted by the owner of the land so that they can access the registration number.

Venta ilegal de terrenos: “Hay funcionarios que no son ajenos”

In this sense, Roldán added that "if you do not have the registration number, it is impossible for you to request the domain report from La Plata, because if you request it without the registration number, the report is rejected."

“Therein lies the responsibility, I am not going to name names because I am not a prosecutor, it is not my turn to investigate, I have to defend. Peralta will have to answer for his responsibilities, but he is not alone here. I have all the information on Peralta's cell phone, why he was doing what he was doing, if he did anything, and who gave him the information, I can assure you that there are officials from the Municipality who are no strangers," Roldán said about the role of the municipality.

The cause

According to the contributions of the defense of Claudio Peralta, accused of swindling those who wanted to buy land: "Until now, in the case, there is only one person who denounced, from now on more can be presented, one thing is what the street and another what the file says, "he said.

The investigation is being carried out by the prosecutor Paula Serrano, from UFI No. 4, while the Court of Guarantees No. 1 in charge of Dr. Fabiana San Román will be the one who makes the decisions on the orders after the investigation.

"Peralta's responsibility here may be the execution of a ticket or a contract between parties, there is information that it is impossible for him to have if it is not given to him by an official from within the Municipality," Roldán insisted at the time of defending the accused.

In this line, the lawyer provided details about the complaint filed by the victim: "The defendant says that he delivered a truck as part of payment, but there is no proof that he delivered it to Peralta, there is nothing that can prove that, one thing is what they say and another thing is what happens”, he affirmed.

In addition, the lawyer explained that the owners of the land "are deceased people with a well-known surname, including a person who was mayor for many years in this city, they are the registered owners of that land." And he maintained: "There is no purchase ticket, there is a transfer of rights."

In conclusion, Sergio Roldán stated: "We have two paths, or this ends up being a scam in the head of my client or it is an illicit association with an official who gave information that he did not have to give."

“There is a political leg here, Claudio Peralta cannot go out and sell land without any information, there are political leaders here, this is a very serious institutional seriousness. We are not talking about a piece of land, there are many registration numbers that Peralta was not going to ask for, ”he sentenced.
