Most of the money was in Argentine pesos. "The money that was sent from the branches to the central office in Adrogué was transported through suitcases, bags, and even in condominium bags, wrapped in thick packing tape," specified an employee of the company who preferred not to reveal her name. She also added: "I delivered bags with food, gifts for Three Kings Day." Likewise, she added: "And when he wanted to organize a party for the employees, he did it at a place called 'Cluster Bar'. The workers there said that the owner was the same Ariel Vallejo." Last week, Federal Police officers seized three Mercedes-Benz armored trucks, a Jeep Renegade van, a Peugeot and an Audi car, a Toyota van, and other high-end vehicles. Federal Justice ordered raids at Adrogué 1100 (Lomas de Zamora branch), Hipólito Yrigoyen 900 and Alem street (both in Monte Grande), Rojas 61 (Esteban Echeverría), Suipacha street (Federal Capital), and other Sur Finanzas branches located in Ramos Mejía, Ezeiza, and Banfield. He also carried out charitable events near the central office in Adrogue. All of this coordinated by a relative of Vallejo, a source explained to NA. This maneuver was repeated constantly until Vallejo bought the armored trucks to do it. Buenos Aires, December 15 (NA) -- The imposing armored trucks that the Justice seized days ago from the company Sur Finanzas, investigated for possible money laundering that would involve the president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia, and the entity's treasurer, Pablo Toviggino, are part of a fleet that its owner had purchased months earlier to transport part of the money the company had. According to what the Argentine News Agency was able to find out, in the company 'supposed relatives' of the firm's head, Ariel Vallejo, worked, to then become part of the work team that transported the money. That money was collected by plainclothes policemen or people specialized in security in private cars. "Every time he bought an armored truck, he uploaded the photo to his WhatsApp status so that all employees would see it."
