7 [the] Prosecutor’s Office in disciplinary administrative investigation No. 465-18-000.048-92 […], (R) Captain Miguel Ángel Espósito be dismissed from the Force without pension under Section 563 of the Regulations of Law No. 21965, on Personnel of the Argentine Federal Police Department.” Moreover, the State noted that, upon the case file being sent to the Minister of Justice, Security and Human Rights, “said Minister issued Resolution 2706/2008 [published in the September 19, 2008 issue of the Official Gazette], ordering the dismissal without pension of Police Captain […] Miguel Angel Espósito.” “[E]ven though the Head of the Police Department requested that the retirement of the Captain be turned into his dismissal with pension, after analyzing his conduct and in exercise of the powers vested in him, the Minister decided to convert the Captain’s legal status into one carrying more serious consequences, i.e. dismissal without pension.” 20. That, as regards the administrative proceeding against Captain Espósito, the representatives have learned that the “even though in a belated fashion, the Ministry of Justice has acknowledged that [C]aptain Espósito ‘abused his position and overstepped the bounds of his authority in ordering that Walter Bulacio be imprisoned.” However, the representatives stressed that “[a]lso in this investigation, [C]aptain Espósito’s defense attorneys d[id] their best to hinder the proceedings and the public institutions respond[ed] inefficiently.” 21.
