In Buenos Aires, it was determined that the mansion in the city of Pilar, acquired by a retiree and her son, suspected of being frontmen for AFA treasurer Pablo Toviggino, was appraised by a judicial expert at over 20 million dollars. This figure is significantly higher than the 1.8 million declared by its owners. This is evident from a report prepared by appraisers from the College of Auctioneers and Brokers of San Isidro, which they sent to Judge Marcelo Aguinsky in economic criminal matters. The appraisal was ordered by Judge Daniel Rafecas when he was in charge of the investigation. Among all the assets found on the property, including vehicles, the fortune of the mansion on Misiones Street 4097, in the locality of Villa Rosa, amounts to 20,815,100 dollars, according to experts. The owners listed are former football executive Luciano Pantano and his mother, retiree Ana Conte, who are under suspicion of being 'frontmen' or 'straw men', as their financial situation does not match the value of the properties they own. It was precisely Pantano and Conte who refused to testify in court on Monday due to a maneuver by their defense attorney, at a time when the judge intended to have them explain how they acquired the mansion. Only the main plot of land was appraised at 5,600,000 dollars, while the value of the main house was set at around 2,385,000 and the secondary dwelling at 1,230,000. Other buildings in the mansion include the entrance building (134,000 dollars), a warehouse (1,050,000 dollars), a stable with a caretaker's residence (1,220,000 dollars), and a car garage (1,490,000 dollars). The pool was valued at 50,000 dollars, the bar at 390,000, the reception at 350,000, the barbecue area at 1,490,000, the spa and gym complex at 1,450,000, the paddle tennis court at 30,000 dollars, and the helipad at 85,000 dollars. Finally, the luxury motorcycles and cars stored in the Pilar mansion (54 in total) were appraised at 3,861,100 dollars.
