The rough appearance of the certificate, which even had some scratches, aroused suspicion and led to an investigation by the deputy secretary of the Department of Inspections and Regulatory Control to determine whether Agent Yamila Leites (31) actually violated a Condition: He suffered from “acute gastroenteritis” and the doctor asked him to rest for four days starting from January 19. This investigation was so thorough that on September 20, they were forced to file a complaint with the UFI Special Crimes Unit, suspecting that the police had prepared the certificate themselves, without the involvement of the allegedly authorized doctors, of course. He was working at Central Radio Command and took four days off.
One of the most difficult tests for the young woman, who “agreed to provide her writing” to participate in the program, was her calligraphy expertise between the graphics on the certificate she presented and her own handwriting. take an exam.
The results were overwhelming. She herself wrote: “31 years old, suffering from acute celiac colitis, requiring 4 (four) days of rest due to acute gastroenteritis (sic)”, adding a doctor named Quiroga seal and signature.
The second piece of evidence against the agent was the testimony of the doctor who claimed he did not know her and had never treated her at the Santa Clara clinic where she was supposed to visit her. The professional also did not acknowledge that the seal and signature on the certificate were hers.
Yesterday, Leites arrived at court to be briefed on the status of the investigation into the charge of forgery of a private instrument (a releasable offence) against him (he was assisted by Crown defender Hugo Trigo). During the hearing in which she was formally charged with this illegal act, Coordinating Prosecutor Iván Grassi and Assistant Prosecutor Ignacio Domínguez asked Judge Javier Fig Javier Figuerola gave the agent six months to investigate and imposed rules of conduct within the same period: obey the procedures and not leave the province without judicial authorization. The magistrate agreed with the tax proposal.
The criminal investigation is another point of objection for the police because at a working level it is very complex and they could recommend that she be dismissed from the force.
