Overview
- The Economic Criminal Chamber rejected a bid by Luciano Pantano and Ana Lucía Conte to halt proceedings during the January recess, affirming Judge Marcelo Aguinsky’s decision to keep the case active.
- After new spending reports, Aguinsky ordered American Express to immediately block debits on an AFA corporate card issued to Pantano that averaged about 50 million pesos per month, including utility bills and TelePASE for vehicles tied to the estate.
- Searches of the property yielded an AFA-branded bag, a Barracas Central plaque bearing Toviggino’s name, and documentation linking vehicles to his relatives, with police also noting kartings similar to those used by his son.
- Records show the estate was acquired in May 2024 for $1.8 million through Real Central SRL, yet official valuations put it roughly between $17 million and $20.8 million, far beyond the declared means of the listed owners.
- A jurisdiction fight between Aguinsky and Campana’s Judge Adrián González Charvay remains before the Federal Chamber of San Martín, while active steps include reviewing nearby security cameras, seeking flight logs from Flyzar, and summoning helicopter pilots and tax officials.
