Eight days before taking office, Yamandú Orsi completed the purchase of a truck hyundai Santa Fe to Oliva Automotive. The payment was made up of the exchange of two vehicles and a transfer from him for US$15,000, as first reported by the weekly Busqueda.
Last Tuesday, the president received four journalists on the 11th floor of the Executive Tower – including The Observer– to present new explanations about the case. That day he showed a business proposal from the automotive company that confirmed the composition of the payment: it would take US$ 22 thousand for his 2020 Hyundai and US$ 17 thousand for one Renault Stepway donated by Car One for your campaign.
At night, the Presidency sent proof of the transfer. The Observer was able to verify this Thursday that the recipient of the payment was the ITAÚ account of Oliva Automotores and the sender was the BROU account belonging to the current president Orsi.
This was possible after The Observer tried a series of combinations on the account number that ended up confirming that Orsi was the owner.
The payment was made in two parts: a first transfer for US$ 10 thousand that same February 21 and the remaining US$ 5 thousand four days later.

Transfer two
A note of The Observer stated this Thursday morning that it was not yet in a position to confirm that said payment had actually been made by Orsi. This is because the receipts consisted of two screenshots that They did not allow the account number to be read clearly.
Despite several attempts to decipher it, the results were unsuccessful until this Thursday afternoon, while The Presidency had conveyed that they would try to clarify it, something that ultimately did not happen.
In this case, a smaller capture of the receipts is published so as not to expose any bank details of those involved.
After the controversy generated, the president announced that he will donate the van to the National Public Education Administration (ANEP) so that it can be used to transport children.
