The approval of the invoices was made by resolution of the mayor’s office or the local government board, resolving the discrepancy of the intervention and approving the list of invoices through the extrajudicial recognition of credit.

Likewise, during the investigation, the possible existence of 287 invoices that would have been settled following the same procedure was detected.
