An operation carried out this Friday on a farm in Pilar, metropolitan region of Buenos Aires, made it possible to find 52 luxury vehicles suspected of belonging to senior officials of the Argentine Football Federation (AFA). The court identified them as being in the name of Real Central SRL, the company under investigation and the official owner of the site.
The list of vehicles registered in the name of the company, whose owners, Luciano Pantano and Ana Conte, are suspected of acting as “oranges”, includes several luxury cars, a large series of sports cars, 4×4 trucks, motorcycles and vehicles considered “collector”.
In accordance with the order of Judge Daniel Rafecas, almost all of the objects in the collection were found: 45 cars, 7 valuable motorcycles and two competition karts. Five company vehicles, whose models were not disclosed, were not on site.
According to information from judicial sources, a total of seven sports cars are registered in the name of Real Central SRL: three Porsches (one Carrera and two Cayman S), a Ferrari F430 coupe, an Audi R8, a Ford Mustang Mach 1 and a Peugeot RCZ.

The list also includes a BMW 320 and two 4×4 trucks: a Porsche Macan S and a Toyota Hilux.
In the motorcycle segment, there are two Harley-Davidsons (Forty-Eight and Iron 883), two Hondas (CBR600 RR and CBR600F3), two Kawasakis (Ninja 1000 and ZX 600-D3) and a Triumph Rocket 3 R. All were found in the operation.
Depending on the state of preservation, another group of vehicles listed by the authorities can be considered “collector”. This category includes, for example, three Renault Fuego coupes and three Ford Falcons.
The company under investigation also owns two Renault 18s and a Renault 19, a Volkswagen Gacel, a Fiat 147 and another Regata, a Peugeot 505, a Ford Sierra XR4, a Citroën Familiar Bermuda and a Gilera FR 200 quadricycle.
The court also inventoried 21 other unidentified vehicles, identified by their registration plates.

According to Pilar’s records, the farm belonged for six years to former player Carlos Tevez and later, in 2023, it passed into the hands of Malte SRL. Finally, on May 30, 2024, the property was sold to the company Real Central SRL, which Pantano and Conte own.
According to the complaint presented by the leaders of the Civic Coalition and the suspicions of the Court, the dimensions of the land, the house and its facilities do not correspond to the economic profile of their formal owners.
“Although the property was acquired by the company, whose owners are the persons reported, after increasing its share capital, this growth would not be sufficient to justify the financial movement for the supposed acquisition of a property of this magnitude, not only due to its size, but also due to the luxury infrastructure that exists inside,” states the presentation.
