He president Javier Mileithrough decree 1062/24, put an end to the comedy of General Jorge BerredoOperational Commander of the Armed Forces who had “judicialized” his anger at not being promoted in a complaint filed in federal justice.
The text signed by Milei provides for the cessation of Berredo’s functions, which implies his transition to retirement and appoints as his replacement Brigadier General Cristian Pafundi.
Berredo had gone to federal justice and denounced last July the General Carlos Carugno, deputy chief of the Army. He attributed threats to him: that he would change the destiny of his wife, a medical colonel, who serves at the Central Military Hospital if he did not leave his position and ask for retirement. The criminal complaint of Pronghorn against the deputy chief of the Army is processed before the federal court of Daniel Rafecas.
The dismissed general’s anger had come since his promotion list to division general was left untreated, delayed in the Senate Agreement Commission along with that of another senior naval officer, the Rear Admiral Juan Coréreported for mistreatment, threats and abuse of authority in Gender of the Ministry of Defense.
The latter obtained the nine signatures of senators from the Agreements Commission for its approval, although the file did not go to the plenary session of the chamber. It could be blocked due to a complaint in court for alleged facts that the senators never received in a hearing with the victim.
Pronghorn he should have left his military career after the assumption of the Chief of the Army, Carlos Presti at the beginning of 2024. The current head of the army is more modern than Berredo and it is an unwritten rule, although of military dignity, that those who are surpassed have to step aside. It is logical that the top leader of a force is the most senior in the career.
The anger of the dismissal with the head of the Army was channeled into institutional acts. Gestures of ice between them; unacceptable to the eyes of those driven. He also directed her toward the ofOffice of Vice President Victoria Villarruel who had no role in the promotion list other than that corresponding to his role in the administrative agenda of the Senate.
The research in the Rafecas court In the Berredo case it is difficult to deviate from the conclusions of “there were no threats”; of the administrative summary (disciplinary file) that at the request of General Berredo had been prepared at the headquarters of the Argentine Army to investigate the alleged threats against him that he placed on the deputy chief of the army, General Corugno.
The Disciplinary File was prepared in accordance with the provisions of Article 12 of Annex II of Decree 2,666/12 Annex IV of Law 26,394 Disciplinary Code of the Armed Forces.
The File began in the Joint Chiefs of Staff, where the organization of the Operational Command, destination of the general, is located. Pronghorn. The actions were carried out by the Senior Acting Officer, auditor major commodore Gustavo Krasñanskyjudicial sources reported. Then they passed to the Army at the discretion of the owner of the weapon. Major General Carlos Presti which is the competent authority, they said in court.
In the Rafecas court they consider the foundations of the auditor’s Final Report Krasnansky and the opinion prepared by the Argentine Army instructor.
The military summary investigation document to which Ámbito had access records the testimonies of the General Corugno (reported for alleged threats), from Major Colonel Jorge Stanic, mentioned by Berredo as a messenger of threats, and of Vice Admiral Marcelo Dalle Nogare that he would have become aware of them.
The statements coincide in that there was no coercion against General Berredo through an alleged transfer of his wife to another destination to motivate the retirement of the Operational Commander who was not promoted. “From the present instruction and the evidence collected and investigations carried out, as well as the statements made, this instance is of the opinion that there are no conducts of sufficient magnitude to be susceptible to disciplinary reproach that warrant substantiation of any disciplinary action in accordance with the prescriber in law 26,394 and its regulatory decree No. 2666/12,” says the summary.
Conclusion: “Based on the above based on the evidentiary elements collected, the foundations presented and the result of the procedures carried out, this Investigating Officer considers that the alleged facts that gave rise to this are suitable to constitute disciplinary offenses in the terms of the Article 13 Annex IV of Law 26,394”.
“I am of the opinion that it is appropriate to submit this report to the Chief of the General Staff of the Argentine Army, who turns out to be competent to resolve these non-disciplinary administrative actions,” reads the instructor’s letter.
On September 2, General Director of Legal Affairs of the Argentine Army, Major Colonel Walter Faneco produced opinion No. 181/PDM/24. The text is in the same line as the final report prepared by the major commodore Krasnansky and rules that “there are no behaviors of sufficient magnitude to be susceptible to disciplinary reproach.”
Finally, in a 3-article resolution dated September 4, the head of the Argentine Army orders: “To terminate this Administrative Actionarrange the file in accordance with what was concluded by the Acting Superior Officer when no conduct with a suffering entity was detected to be susceptible to disciplinary reproach and the transfer to the file in the General Directorate of Personnel and Welfare.
