The Federal Criminal and Correctional Chamber decided today that the National Economic Crimes Court No. 10 must continue the investigation into alleged money laundering against Nicolás Pantano and Ana Lucía Conte, who are accused of having acquired a property in Pilar through the company Real Central SRL without sufficient financial support.
The conflict of jurisdiction arose after Federal Judge Daniel Rafecas declared himself incompetent and referred the case to the economic criminal court, whereupon the interim judge refused to intervene and returned the file.
Chamber I of the Chamber decided that the matter in principle falls within the offense provided for in Article 303 of the Penal Code and that the case must be dealt with in the economic criminal jurisdiction, which specializes in economic and financial matters, since no evidence was found justifying the intervention of the federal criminal jurisdiction. The court pointed out that the intervening court must assess territorial jurisdiction.
