Daniel Coronell published a report on him claiming that he had hid the money in tax havens and was implicated in corruption.

Actually, he confronted former mayors he been a supporter of. He recently stated, “I have been standing in solidarity with those who are in the report because I don’t think that someone decides to make such a decision so that the tunnel of diversion falls. There is solidarity, and certain sectors have to be targeted by political strategies.”
