La vicepresidenta Victoria Villarruel criticó al Ministerio de Defensa por la adquisición de un Embraer para la Fuerza Aérea. La operación genera sospechas de irregularidades y sobreprecios.

Villarruel publicó un mensaje en X en el que calificó la compra como gravísima. Señaló que años atrás por mucho menos renunciaban todos los implicados, mientras los sueldos del personal militar están bajos y la obra social de las Fuerzas Armadas presenta un déficit severo.

La Fuerza Aérea pagó 4.085.000 dólares por un Embraer ERJ-140LR. Un modelo similar se ofrecía por 2.300.000 dólares. Informes técnicos detectaron problemas de corrosión, pérdidas de aceite y equipamiento faltante en la aeronave.

El exministro Luis Petri afirmó que denunció el caso en noviembre de 2025 ante la Justicia Federal. Otras cuatro compras de aviones realizadas desde 2021 también se investigan por irregularidades similares.
