Illicit money laundering association dismantled in Argentina

An illicit association dedicated to money laundering was dismantled following 12 raids carried out in the province of Córdoba, and nearly 840,000 dollars were seized. Official sources informed the Argentine News Agency that officers of the Airport Security Police (PSA) conducted operations in homes, banks, and offices in the localities of Sinsacate, Los Aromos, Jesús María, and Córdoba capital, as part of a case for alleged defrauding the state. A judicial order in August requested the implementation of investigations into the individuals and legal entities involved, which led to the discovery that a company was in charge of preparing legumes for sale in Europe. According to the authorities, a couple led the company, while a niece of the couple was the deputy director of a firm based in the United States, which purchased the containers with grains exported by the organization. The officers seized 838,968 dollars, 2,890 euros, nine vehicles, eight cell phones, nine notebooks, three computers, and other electronic objects of relevance to the case being handled by Federal Court No. 2 in Córdoba.
