Overview
- Broxel disavowed any role in the vouchers now circulating and said all documents printed since April 8, 2025 under Previale are unrelated to the program it previously supported.
- Three independent forensic reports cited by multiple outlets concluded the vouchers fail 8 of 14 mandated security measures, creating a risk of easy duplication.
- Presumed counterfeit vouchers have been detected in several parts of the capital, and the local government has begun distributing verification lamps to participating merchants.
- Previsión del Trabajo (Previvale), awarded the contract via tender LPN‑SAPCI‑001‑2025, asserts the vouchers’ legitimacy with a notary’s attestation, a claim critics say does not substitute for a technical peritaje.
- The program serves hundreds of thousands of beneficiaries and involves hundreds of millions of pesos, focusing scrutiny on potential losses to small merchants and questions about the contractor’s compliance and experience.
