This indication, together with the fact that the former president was the only person on the previous board with the ability to carry out banking movements in the accounts despite the fact that there was a treasurer, made them suspicious of her financial management, which is why they decided to file a complaint.
What’s more, as the treasurer of the previous board declared to the investigators, he ended up resigning from his position since at no time did he have the ability to operate in the accounts, he could only consult balances.
