Argentine Judge Orders Investigation in Money Laundering Case

Buenos Aires, December 5 (NA) – Federal Judge Daniel Rafecas today ordered a series of investigative measures in a case of alleged money laundering involving alleged frontmen for Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia and Pablo Toviggino. According to information from the Argentine News Agency, among the measures ordered by the magistrate is the lifting of fiscal secrecy for Luciano Pantano, Ana Conte, Lucas Labbad, and the firm Real Central SRL, with the aim of accessing all fiscal and tax information related to the aforementioned individuals and the property in question. Additionally, Rafecas ordered a thorough appraisal of the property located in Pilar, for which he summoned an appraiser from the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation and another from the College of Real Estate Brokers of San Isidro. The judge also instructed the Federal Police to set up checkpoints at the entrances and exits of the mansion in Pilar for the purpose of identifying individuals and photographing and registering movable assets at the request of the Civic Coalition (CC). The case began with a complaint filed by the Civic Coalition, which alleged possible money laundering schemes through the acquisition of a luxury property.
