Appeals Court Orders Supreme Court Forensic Audit of Insaurralde, Cirio and Clerici

The ruling replaces an outsourced audit with a review by the Supreme Court’s official accountants.

Overview

  • The Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation’s Sala IV overturned a La Plata ruling and Judge Ernesto Kreplak’s plan to use UBA-selected experts.
  • Judge Luis Armella must issue a new order bringing in the Supreme Court’s specialized forensic accountants to examine the assets.
  • Prosecutors Diego Iglesias, Sergio Mola and Diego Velasco secured the decision after objecting to the lack of safeguards in the prior expert selection.
  • A Procelac report in the case outlines alleged unjustified enrichment, citing over US$100,000 in travel from 2021–2023, US$51,714 spent in five days in Marbella, US$82,882 in transfers from Miami and a hotel bill paid by a Swiss firm.
  • Investigators note US$600,000 in cash and luxury goods found at Sofía Clerici’s home and links to contractors for properties and vehicles, while emphasizing the case remains investigatory with no convictions.
