Gabriel Estapé challenges dismissal as former Gualeguay treasurer

Former treasurer Gabriel Estapé and his lawyer, Marcelo Sánchez, are set to appear before the local Deliberative Council to contest his dismissal. The defense argues that the removal is improper and intends to exhaust administrative channels before pursuing legal action against the Municipality.

Key arguments presented by the defense include the claim that no funds were missing, asserting that money identified during an audit was actually secured in a safe that was not inspected. Additionally, they contend that the treasurer possesses the authority to act without executive permission and that the disciplinary process was flawed due to conflicts of interest within the voting body.
