The director of this digital media, Juan Carlos Blanco, signs an article in which he states that the case exposed “an open secret of a business that bordered more on the criminal and fraudulent” among the cattle, political and social world.

Many of the shareholders of Conexión Ganadera are part of a well-to-do social class that remains far from being given the same justice as the majority of Uruguayans, the article says.

Blanco writes that “one of the most important frauds in Uruguayan history is moving in a judicial manner that is not only very slow, but with profiles of great complacency”.

He reports that businessman Pablo Carrasco, a key figure in Conexión Ganadera, is negotiating an abbreviated agreement with the prosecution and house arrest to settle the scandal that is shaking the foundations of trust in the Uruguayan cattle industry.

Such a probability raises serious questions about the ethics and transparency of justice, warns the text.

It recalls that Conexión Ganadera was promoted as a financial platform aimed at improving livestock farming practices and fostering investment sustainability.

However, the fraud called into question the integrity of the organization, opening the way to lawsuits from shareholders who see their resources disappearing.
