The economic criminal justice system requested information from the company that owns the helicopter that made 42 flights to the Villa Rosa mansion in Pilar in six months, and that the treasurer of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) be investigated. Pablo Toviggino, as its true owner.
Court sources stated Clarion that the judge Marcelo Aguinsky has asked Flyzar to report flights carried out last year by the Bell 429 GlobalRanger helicopter with registration LV-FKY. This is the ship that landed at Pilar’s house, which was attacked and against which a preventative embargo was imposed.
Clarín revealed that this aircraft made 42 flights to Pilar’s villa within six months, between May 14 and November 21 of this year.
The helicopter is operated by and belongs to the company Servicios y Emprendimientos Aeronáuticos SA Gustavo Carmona. It is known as Flyzar. This company was contracted by the AFA to operate the flight that took the Argentine team to the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
Pilar’s house has a helipad and this medium revealed that the helicopter was last there on November 21st.
The case investigates alleged money laundering in the purchase of the property acquired last year by “Real Central SRL”, a company under the name Luciano Pantano and his retired mother Ana Lucía Conte. They are also owners of 54 luxury and collector vehicles seized from the house and a residential building in a land in Pilar.
But none of them have the stated economic capacity to purchase these goods. But there are connections to football: Pantano was a leader of the AFA. During the judicial investigation, elements emerged that directly link the house to Toviggino: an AFA bag and a Barracas Central license plate in his name were confiscated during the raid, and the blue ID cards of the vehicles – which authorize him to drive these vehicles – are in the name of relatives of the AFA treasurer.
As part of the investigation, Judge Aguinsky pointed to evidence relating to the 30 by 30 meter helipad in the house, which is in the name of Pantano, and the flights with his passengers. The judge asked the National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) to disclose what helicopter flight records the property has.
The agency replied that it did not have these documents because they had to be kept in a book by the owner of the helipad. This book was not found during a search of the property. An incident occurred in recent days that caught the attention of the court: ANAC staff went to the property to look for the book, even though they already knew it wasn’t there.
ANAC told the court that it has the list of helicopter pilots who seek permission for landings from the control tower. The judge asked the agency for this list because the helipad is still in operation to this day. The request has not yet been answered. This will allow the judiciary to call the pilots as witnesses and find out who the passengers were who went to Pilar’s house.
