The man who dished out US$ 29 million in bribes in Peru – LaRepública.pe

Gonzalo Eduardo Monteverde Bussalleu created a network of paper companies, along with other collaborators, which would have been "whitened" in Peru the us $ 29 million the construction company Odebrecht paid in bribes by the works of the Interoceanic highway and the Electric Train in Lima.

you CAN SEE: PPK on Odebrecht: “If the jettison and accusations are false, they can sue”

as established in documents from the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF), reports and banking records of the Public Ministry to which he has had access to The Republic this week.

Those documents show that, between the years 2007 to 2015, companies linked to Monteverde and her collaborators received the Odebrecht 29’459.079.22 dollars, for services that never actually would have paid. It is almost the same figure, the company has recognized, before the Department of Justice of the united States and the Public Ministry of Switzerland, who paid in bribes in Peru.

Of that money, US$ 8’605,977 were remesados to the outside, to an off shore company in Panama, via banks in the U.S., and US$ 20’852,102.22 were withdrawn in cash in Peru.

Initially, the economic activities of Monteverde were denounced to the prosecutor’s office in 2008, during the second government of Alan García, mr. Pedro Anibal Morote Cornejo.

Morote reported that a company of Monteverde received payments from Odebrecht for US$ 7’964,152 due to a course service provided in relation to the Interoceanic highway North, a work that was overvalued but, in practice, was not executed.

in Addition, a left a subcontract dummy between Jorge Wuilfredo Salinas Coaguila and the company of Gonzalo Monteverde by $ 6.3 million. The final destination of this money went offshore accounts.

But the case encarpetó. The attorney who wanted to investigate the theme was sanctioned, while Morote was persecuted and had to fight for their freedom. The prosecutor of the Nation at that time was dr. Gladys Echaíz.

The complaint went unnoticed until Brazil broke the case Lava Jato. The report Pari reports that the group Monteverde was used by the builder brazilian to take money out of your accounting legal.

Monteverde Bussalleu denies any wrongdoing, but with the announcement of Odebrecht seek to collaborate with the justice system of peru is likely that this situation will change, as has happened in Brazil.

– laundering Scheme

Today, Odebrecht already doesn’t put presidents and can be investigated. The prosecution of money laundering took out the records from oblivion.

The Republic has reviewed the documents of this case and found that the money that moved Monteverde Bussalleu is greater than that reported by the commission for Pari in the previous Congress, and an investigation of IDL-Reporters.

The total amount is very close to that recognized by Odebrecht in payments of bribes in Peru.

in Addition, the reports of the financial activity on the group Monteverde describe the same financial scheme of four phases that had the builder brazilian to cover up the delivery of bribes in Brazil and all of Latin america.

The money comes out of your accounting formal for alleged services rendered by other companies created by an external agent.

Then the managers of these enterprises make a series of movements with the money: withdrawals and deposits of cash, wire transfers to the national and international level.

The companies have contracts for professional services or business to justify the receipt and movement of funds. The goal is to disguise the source of money from the construction company of brazil.

Monteverde and his brothers Alfredo Manuel, Juan José, Aldo Alejandro and Javier Enrique appear as founding partners, legal representatives, guardians, or managers of a conglomerate of 13 companies and corporations chartered in Lima and the outside. John Joseph Monteverde was candidate to deputy by the late Frenatraca, in the 1990 elections. Through Mossack Fonsecca, Gonzalo Monteverde acquired powers over the companies off shore Selgas International Limited and Rodton Management SA.

Next to them are Maria Isabel Carmona Bernasconi and Jorge Wuilfredo Salinas Coaguila as the main ones in charge of moving the money, either in cash or bank transfers.

In the first level of this scheme business, according to the most recent analysis prepared by the FIU and the prosecutor’s office, the companies in Construction Area, SAC, Construmaq, Division of Machinery Antares SAC and Construction Dimaco SAC. These are the companies that receive the money that deviates from the affiliates, and consortiums of Odebrecht in Peru, such as, for example, the Odebrecht Peru Ingenieria y Construction, Consorcio Constructor IIRSA Norte, a Construction company Norberto Odebrecht sucursal Peru, Concesionaria Interoceánica Sur Tramo 2 SA.

Then comes a second level in which involved 9 companies and about 10 people natural. In this level include those mentioned Jorge Salinas and Maria Carmona and between enterprises Dominatrix Limited, Exchange House Currency SAC, Allamanda Ventures Limited, SA, Tourism Investment Miraflores SAC, Isagon SAC, Investing the Sanctuary SAC and others.

They receive the money in cash or by bank transfer and are in charge of sending it in smaller amounts to financial institutions in the united States, Panama, Costa Rica, Brazil, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

According to the bank documents the main receiver of the money on the outside is the off-shore Panamanian Balmer Holding Assets Ltd, through an account of the Trend Bank of Brazil, in the First Caribbean International.

The Trend Bank is related to the “doleiro” Alberto Yousseff, who is immersed in the scandal-Lava Jato.

These facts, and that Constructor Area SAC also received money from the developer International of the South, which is controlled by Francisco Frankie Martinelli, cousin of former panamanian Ricardo Martinelli, makes me suspect to the authorities that this same structure was used by Odebrecht to pay bribes in other countries.

Peru

Of the 29 million dollars of Odebrecht, which receive the companies of Monteverde, US$ 20’853,102.22 stayed in the peruvian territory.

The prosecutor’s office suspects that this money was used in payment of cash bribes to various government officials, in charge of the tenders and approve the addenda to the contracts.

For example, the company Construmaq SA turned himself checks for $ 6’734,507 in favor of 9 natural persons and a legal entity. As a major beneficiary of these transfers appears the same Gonzalo Monteverde, receiving US$ 6’341,900.

Where was to stop that money? The affidavits of Monteverde indicate that its annual revenues were a little over 11 thousand suns a year, in the years of this shower of millions.

Then, between November 2008 to December 2015, Construtora Norberto Odebrecht transferred US$ 5’864,821 Division Machinery Antares. This company gave that money to Construmaq (1’684,900), Isagon SAC (650,000) and Investment the Sanctuary SAC (3’9925,000). It was withdrawn from their accounts, and probably delivered to the final beneficiary in a briefcase or backpack.

Another transfer made in the same time by the builder brazilian that draws attention is a$ 2’565,989 made to Construction company Dimaco, that he was re-admitted to the same companies of Monteverde, following the same scheme: cash withdrawals, cheques, transfers.

EXTERIOR

Between 2007 and 2008, Construction Area, SAC received US$ $ 16’285,813.22. The largest amount, $ 10’926,176.70, came to the construction Consortium IIRSA Norte, constructing the inter-Oceanic waterway.

In his admission of guilt, Odebrecht pointed out that between 2005 to 2008, he paid $ 20 million in bribes, in exchange for their participation, and the approval of cost overruns of the road that connects Peru with Brazil.

The total Construction Area delivery$ 11’215,109, cash, wire transfers or checks, to Jorge Salinas, who finally send US$ 6’383,723 to Panama, through three other companies that used banks in the united states.

Also, Construmaq SA receives US$ 4’431,667 of the construction of brazil, between 2008 and 2015. This company sent a total of US$ 2’222,254 to offshore accounts using the financial system of the united States, United Kingdom, Costa Rica and Panama.

The partnership of Odebrecht, united States, Switzerland, and the lifting of the banking secrecy in Peru will know to whom the money went. The names are going to come out, just have patience.
