The Government announced this Wednesday the new protocol to remove vehicles from the Vehicle Retention Centers (CRV), in which it grants a period of 90 days from the date to manage the delivery.
For these purposes, a commission was formed, made up of different entities that will install an office in the CRVs, and that indicates that after 90 days, the unclaimed vehicles will be auctioned or converted into scrap.
The stocking was arranged as a result of the confrontations and complaints that have generated the difficulties that the owners face when removing the vehicles that have been retained and deposited in centers such as the Greyhound Track.
Below we reproduce the full protocol for the delivery of the vehicles.
