Overview
- Police executed three court‑authorized raids in Córdoba, Quilmes and a Buenos Aires city gallery after a six‑month probe by the City of Buenos Aires complex crimes units.
- Hundreds of fake plates, presses, molds, metal sheets and key records were seized at the main workshop located on Esquiú 900 in the Pueyrredón neighborhood of Córdoba.
- The network took orders through a website and Marketplace, used a downtown Buenos Aires gallery and a Quilmes site for pickups, and shipped from Córdoba via private courier.
- Two people were detained for identification during the procedures, with no arrests ordered at the time, as investigators analyze documents and map possible additional sites.
- Investigators report links between the seized operation and an auto‑theft and vehicle adulteration ring in the Buenos Aires Conurbano, with that line of inquiry still developing.
