Why, if he ordered an audit and has the results, doesn't he reveal them?
That has a confidentiality clause. But it is in the hands of an external lawyer who made us a report and we are going to analyze it.
The audit says there are suspicious transactions. Million-dollar revenues from Conmebol as donations, when they do not make them. What have you done?
Remember that there is already a sentence (against Luis Chiriboga, former president). In my administration, there are no longer income as donations. We had a surplus of $3 million from the Copa America Centenario (2016) and that money goes to the development of the country's clubs. That's how we support and everything with an audit. It's not me who says it, FIFA acknowledges it, I ask you to be calm. There are changes here, maybe we failed them in the sports aspect and I apologize to the people for not having gone to the World Cup.
Do you represent Chiriboga's continuity?
On the contrary, here we have created a compliance and governance department, a permanent audit, we have a financial department praised by FIFA and Conmebol who have released funds that were blocked. We are an example of administration. There is a change of 180 degrees here.
The audit also makes recommendations to avoid conflicts of interest with FEF suppliers. Is that being applied now?
Of course. Now we have a purchasing department, we have good organization, specialized control departments. This audit has been very useful. That's why we can now prevent conflicts of interest, negligence, abuse of trust, and so on from happening again.
The report cites Vinicio Luna, former coordinator, who was given tickets, handling of armored vehicles, trips...
The lawyer handles everything. He will recommend the actions. There is no esprit de corps, whoever is appointed, must answer.
