Overview

  • The Federal Chamber of Cassation’s Sala III unanimously removed the Unidad de Información Financiera from a derived money‑laundering case tied to Daniel Muñoz, citing the Milei administration’s Decree 274/2025.
  • Judges Mariano Borinsky, Carlos Mahiques and Guillermo Yacobucci granted defense appeals and validated prior investigative acts despite excluding the UIF from the case.
  • The lateral expediente targets alleged laundering through Muñoz’s network, with embargos that include $38 million for Carolina Pochetti, $11 million for Franco Muñoz and an aggregate of roughly $412 million for other accused.
  • Investigators attribute about $70 million moved abroad to purchases of 16 properties in Miami, two in New York and plans for a resort in Turks and Caicos, alongside 113 properties identified in Argentina.
  • The UIF said it will seek an extraordinary federal appeal, as the main Cuadernos trial proceeds with the UIF still recognized as a querellante after Sala I’s stance and a Supreme Court rejection of new bids to remove it.
