'Generación Zoe' Case Referred to Federal Jurisdiction in Argentina

In this investigation, one of the accused is Leonardo Cositorto, considered the leader of an illicit association and fraud schemes, who has already been convicted in Salta and Corrientes. Sources familiar with the case confirmed to the Argentine News Agency that in recent hours, it was reported that the case for fraud and illicit association has been referred to Federal Justice after the judges based their decision on the criteria issued in February of this year by the Nation's Supreme Court of Justice. The resolution highlights that the case has a national and international scope due to its participants and organizers, which is why it should be transferred to a different jurisdiction. Currently, all accused individuals from Córdoba are at liberty after the three-year period of preventive imprisonment without the case being elevated to trial expired. In February 2025, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison by the court in Goya, Corrientes, for illicit association and continued fraud. Buenos Aires, April 2 (NA) – There has been a surprising turn of events in the 'Generación Zoe' case in the province of Córdoba after the Criminal Chamber of Villa María decided to decline its jurisdiction, so the case has now passed to federal jurisdiction. Months later, in June of the same year, he received a new sentence of 11 years in prison in the province of Salta for 118 frauds. On two occasions, the Instructional Prosecutor, Juliana Companys, had requested the trial, but it was denied due to inconsistencies. 'I suspect there may be more movements and that this case will not end there,' they expressed from the investigation's environment. The Supreme Court orders the unification of the 'Generación Zoe' cases in Comodoro Py. Córdoba was the first province to carry out the investigation against Cositorto for fraud through 'Generación Zoe', an organization that operated as an educational, coaching, and financial conglomerate, but which was actually a pyramid scheme. This investigation allowed Cositorto to be arrested in the Dominican Republic and later extradited to Argentina.
