This week will be crucial for the future Criminal case in which a villa in the city of Buenos Aires column on behalf of two people who do not have the economic ability to acquire it and who have been denounced as possible frontmen of the President of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), Claudio “Chiqui” Tapiaand the treasurer of the company, Pablo Toviggino.
It is expected to determine which judge will hear the case: the federal judge of Comodoro Py Daniel Rafecas or Court 10 for economic criminal matters, currently responsible for Javier Lopez Biscayart. There was a dispute between the two about the cause, which must be clarified by the Federal Chamber.
The complaint filed by the Civic Coalition (CC) alleging money laundering went to Judge Rafecas, but he was clear that it should be handled by the Economic Crimes Court. So we went to 10th place, which is vacant but has the right to be represented Marcelo Aguinskywho is in turn on leave and will be replaced by López Biscayart until the middle of the month. López Biscayart did not accept the case and understood that Rafecas should be the one to investigate the matter, so he returned it.
Rafecas will refer the fight to the Federal Chamber of Comodoro Py this Tuesday. This court will be the one to determine which of the two courts intervenes in the case and is expected to do so later this week. But until that happens, Judge Rafecas is responsible for the file – at least for the time being – and ordered the order on Friday first test measures.
The judge ordered the lifting of the tax, banking and stock exchange secrecy of Luciano Pantano, Ana Conte, Lucas Labbad and the company “Real Central SRL”. He also requested a detailed account of all his assets and income and the creation of an asset profile.
The leader of the Central Committee, Elisa Carrioand the legislators Juan Facundo del Gaiso and Matías Yofe reported that Pantano and Ana Lucía Conte, through the company “Real Central SRL”, are the owners of the 105,384.80 square meter mansion located at Misiones 4097 in Villa Rosa, Pilar, but that they are alleged front men of Tapia and Toviggino, the real owners or those who use it, according to information they contributed to the case. They quoted an interview in the newspaper La Nación in which the former president of Boca Juniors Daniel Angelici He said the property was purchased by Toviggino. How do you know that? Because he lives in Pilar.
The CC stated this in the case There are collector cars, a stud farm for Arabian and thoroughbred racehorses, a horse training track, a helipad and various types of sports facilities. Those responsible reported on Friday that the square would be emptied.
Judge Rafecas ordered the federal police to post slogans at the entrances of the house and to identify the people coming and going and to photograph the things taken out. He also ordered an expert report from the Supreme Court and another report from the San Isidro Auctioneers’ Association to prepare an expert report to determine the value of the property.
The coalition has denounced this Neither Pantano nor Conde have the financial capacity to be owners of this house.
1) Conte was a monotributista until 2012, in 2020 he received the “Emergency Family Income” benefit granted by ANSES and in 2021 he retired.
2) Pantano, for his part, was registered as a monotributista and had bank debts. In addition to his association with the AFA of Tapia, he has been President of the Argentine Civil Association of Futsal and Beach Soccer since May 31, 2021 and assumed the position of Treasurer of the Almirante Brown Club in March 2022.
Another of the people examined is Labbad, former Boca manager during the Angelici administration. “In January 2023, Pantano became president of the company Mendoza Wines SA and collaborated with Lucas Labbad in the vineyard business. Lucas Labbad is a recognized figure in the Argentine football ecosystem and gained notoriety for his performance as general manager of Club Atlético Boca Juniors during the management of Daniel Angelici,” the CC’s complaint states.
The network of companies and possible front men who may have committed money laundering will be a task for the judiciary. But is not the only cause this was exploited around Tapia, the AFA and football.
It has also been partly investigated for years, South Financea company Ariel Vallejoassociated with Tapia, and who financed and sponsored several football clubs, including Barracas Central, an entity of the President of the AFA.
Sur Finance is involved in various causes of suspected money laundering Money from the funds. The last was a complaint by the DGI-ARCA for alleged evasion of the check tax amounting to 3,300 million pesos and for managing more than 800 billion pesos through its accounts, many of which correspond to individuals who do not have the economic profile to carry out volume operations or who do not exist directly.
The financial company was raided and the judge ordered the lifting of Vallejo’s tax and banking secrecy and the confiscation of his cell phone. One of the cases involved the alleged payment of bribes to the National Disability Agency. The judiciary discovered a transfer to one of the financial company’s virtual wallets from defendants suspected of laundering bribes.
