The current Mexican state government of Michoacán detected an alleged fraud of $ 500, 000, 000 from dollars, by former governor Silvano Aureoles together with a construction company in charge of building police barracks with alleged cost overruns.
The company was in charge of the construction, lease and purchase of 7 police barracks, where apparently It had luxurious rooms with bulletproof armor , as denounced this Wednesday by the Government of Michoacán.
Alfredo Ramírez, current governor and successor of Aureoles, denounced that the Superior Audit Office of Michoacán (ASM) is investigating the alleged fraud for $ 240, 000, 000 dollars, in construction , the unusual lease and the final purchase of the regional headquarters of the Michoacán State Police in the municipalities of Apatzingán, Lázaro Cárdenas, Coalcomán, Jiquilpan, Zitácuaro, Uruapan and Huetamo.

These private areas are equipped with bulletproof armor and luxurious furniture in a room, living room, dining room and a complete bathroom.
The exclusive spaces for the ex-president are located a few meters away, and with private access do to heliports, assured Ramírez.
Ramírez explained that this corruption model was based on the payment of seven executive projects, one for each complex, when it should have been only one – with the existence of a surcharge in construction. .
