Overview
- Buenos Aires provincial investigators searched the home of Civic Coalition figure Matías Yofe on Jan. 2 under an order by Judge Walter Federico Saettone at the request of prosecutor Germán Camafreitas.
- Police seized cell phones, computers, data storage devices and paperwork during the court-authorized procedure.
- Yofe says he was in Mar del Plata and was not detained, and alleges officers threatened his wife with being handcuffed and separated from their four-month-old baby.
- Elisa Carrió and the Civic Coalition denounce a “mafioso” operation, claim police did not show the warrant and argue the true aim was to access Yofe’s digital information.
- The raid follows Yofe’s complaints about a $20 million Villa Rosa property reportedly linked to AFA figures, a separate case now overseen by Judge Marcelo Aguinsky after initial steps by Judge Daniel Rafecas.
