Overview
- Federal investigators froze hundreds of bank and digital wallet accounts linked to purported front men connected to Sur Finanzas, the firm owned by Ariel Vallejo.
- Judges ordered preventive embargoes on Vallejo and relatives and instructed registries and market regulators to identify any registrable assets under their names.
- Case files cite Category A–D monotributistas moving tens of billions of pesos despite minimal declared income, including one 31‑year‑old who shifted more than $120,000 million in two years.
- Recent raids on Sur Finanzas branches seized records after police reported unusually low cash on site and signs of recently emptied safes and dismantled offices.
- An institutional clash escalated as Judge Federico Villena filed a criminal complaint accusing prosecutor Cecilia Incardona of attempting to steer the case’s assignment.
