Argentina is conducting a major investigation into the financial firm Sur Finanzas over alleged irregular currency exchange schemes. This week, over 30 search warrants were executed across Buenos Aires and its province, involving specialized federal police units. The probe, initiated by the Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF), aims to map a circuit believed to have moved millions by exploiting the gap between the official and parallel dollar exchange rates. Investigators are seizing devices, documents, and financial records to trace the money's path. Key findings include a Nazi dagger and evidence suggesting a complex structure for hiding or recycling funds. The investigation also has political and sporting connections, with mentions of AFA President Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia. The central hypothesis is a 'circular exchange' scheme: dollars bought officially are then resold on the informal market for huge profits. The investigation seeks to determine if these were isolated acts or a widespread operation.
