The former Commissioner Fanuco has been taken into provisional detention after the Prosecutor's Office charged him with unjustified enrichment. The case began after an audit by the Comptroller's Office revealed that the former official failed to substantiate nearly 496 thousand dollars, an amount that does not match his income, according to the report. The prosecutor in the case made it clear that they already have bank movements, fixed-term deposits, assets, and several transactions. Although he did not provide details—because the investigation is formally just beginning—he confirmed that there is documented financial movement during the time Fanuco was Director of Transit and in his subsequent functions. The defense responded by saying that this case “has been going around for about 8 years” and that their client has not changed their residence or assets. They allege that the Comptroller's Office did not give enough time to submit documents and that the calculations did not account for deductions, real income, or other legal activities of the former commissioner. For now, the detention measure is not definitive after an appeal was filed. On December 4 at 3:30 p.m., at Plaza Fortuna, it will be decided whether Fanuco remains in prison or his precautionary measure is changed.
