Overview

  • The Cámara Federal confirmed money-laundering processing for Carolina Pochetti and two dozen associates of Daniel Muñoz, imposing embargos that exceed US$450 million on their assets.
  • Judicial findings show Muñoz’s network moved at least US$70 million abroad into luxury properties in Miami, New York and the Turks and Caicos, prompting extensive asset-tracing efforts.
  • Tribunal Oral Federal 2 granted a recurso de casación to the Cámara de Casación Penal to review the AR$684.99 billion Vialidad decomiso with no suspensive effect on ongoing asset seizures.
  • Sales and remate procedures for seized assets of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner are advancing under her six-year house-arrest sentence despite her challenges to the decomiso amount.
  • Courts are juggling concurrent appeals over decomiso methodologies and jurisdictional challenges as they push ahead with execution and auction of frozen assets.
