Argentine Court Orders Probe into Money Laundering Case to Continue

Buenos Aires, December 12 (NA) – The Federal Criminal and Correctional Chamber ruled today that the National Court in Economic Criminal No. 10 must continue the investigation for alleged money laundering involving Nicolás Pantano and Ana Lucía Conte. They are accused of acquiring a property in Pilar through the company Real Central S.R.L. without sufficient financial backing, as confirmed by the Argentine News Agency with judicial sources.

The conflict of jurisdiction arose after federal judge Daniel Rafecas declared himself incompetent and referred the case to the economic criminal jurisdiction, whose interim magistrate rejected the intervention and returned the file.

Chamber I held that the facts, in principle, fall under the crime provided for in Article 303 of the Penal Code and that, since no elements were found to justify the intervention of the federal criminal jurisdiction, the case must be processed in the economic criminal jurisdiction, specialized in economic and financial matters.

The court indicated that the intervening court must assess territorial jurisdiction.
