Overview
- Officials say the investigation is in its initial phase with multiple evidentiary measures underway and no link to probes involving the AFA or Sur Finanzas.
- Searches covered the Estudiantes club headquarters, private residences, offices, garages and a media outlet, with seizures of cars, cash, foreign currency, securities, documents and mobile phones.
- More than 70 ARCA agents worked with National Gendarmerie personnel in operations that ran over 16 hours across roughly 40 sites.
- Alicio Dagatti remains free on a prior $1.4 million bail as his lawyer filed an appearance, requested access to the file and said the client is at the court’s disposal.
- The federal case stems from the provincial ‘camión narco’ investigation that led to the driver Néstor Lucero’s conviction, while a provincial prosecutor has sought to send Dagatti to trial as an alleged leader of an illicit association.
