A 29-year-old man was arrested on charges of leading an organization dedicated to selling fake invoices and tickets from "ghost companies" in order to evade taxes in the Rosario area. The arrest was carried out by the Special Investigations Unit of the Federal Police in Rosario. According to police sources, it was an illegal structure responsible for issuing and marketing counterfeit documents so that companies could evade taxes, thus constituting an Illicit Fiscal Association.
The case began following a request from the Rosario Prosecutor's Unit last August, led by prosecutor Virginia Sosa, who requested an investigation into possible criminal activities related to money laundering and tax evasion. The investigation revealed that invoices were being sold to S.A. and S.R.L companies in Rosario to evade taxes.
During the raids, two addresses linked to the criminal activities were found, one on Estanislao López street and another on Sarmiento street. The Federal Court number 4 of Rosario, presided over by Judge Marcelo Bailaque, ordered the actions, where the alleged 29-year-old responsible was arrested and more than 62 million pesos, firearms, vehicles, documents, and other items related to the case were seized.
The raids confiscated multimillion-dollar sums of money, a handgun with ammunition, shotgun cartridges, cars, a motorcycle, tickets, a bill counting machine, electronic devices, checks, mobile phones, and documentation relevant to the investigation. The accused, of Argentine nationality, along with the seized items, was made available to the judge for his alleged involvement in crimes related to the Illicit Fiscal Association, in violation of Law 24.769.
