The Financial Intelligence Unit , under the Finance Ministry, froze the bank accounts owned by Rosario Robles , the former chief of the S ocial Development Ministry (Sedesol) and Emilio Zebadúa , her former senior official.
Official sources
confirmed that their accounts were frozen because they are suspects in a money diversion case involving the Sedesol and the Agrarian, Territorial, and Urban Development Ministry (Sedatu) , where they both worked.
The alleged diversion perpetrated by the two formed officials is linked to the Estafa Maestra , a massive fraud involving several federal agencies and public universitie s.
Last week, a judge subpoenaed Robles so that the Attorney General's Office charges her for the improper exercise of public service and is bound over to trial .
Robles
said that she will appear before a supervisory judge on August 8.
She then sent a letter to the president of the Supreme Court, Arturo Zaldíva r, where she says she considers there is a “ media lynching ” against her, which puts her integrity at risk and which has also influenced the justice system .
EL UNIVERSAL
revealed that the Financial Intelligence Unit ordered the blocking of her accounts after it was disclosed that the Attorney General's Office prosecute her for the alleged diversion of public funds when she led the Sedesol and Sedatu , as part of the case known as the Master Fraud .
In her letter, the former Minister also said that until last year, the Attorney General's Office states there were to charges against her in connection with the massive fraud .
