The government removed Carlos Frugoni from his position as secretary of Infrastructure Coordination. Frugoni acknowledged that he failed to declare seven properties in Miami to both ARCA and the Anti-Corruption Office.
This action comes amid scrutiny of public officials' assets. As a senior Economy ministry official, Frugoni now faces the fallout from his omission.
In a related development, the Administrative Investigations Prosecutor's Office requested the questioning of ARCA's head. The official is accused of concealing Miami properties worth more than US$2 million. Federal judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi will decide on the request.
