Cayó una azafata por contrabando en Ezeiza (Gentileza Policía de Seguridad Aeroportuaria).

Overview

  • M. C. P. is imputada for tentativa de contrabando after PSA screening at Ezeiza uncovered four Rolex watches, ten iPhones, eight gold coins and multiple pieces of jewelry in her luggage.
  • Judge Diego Alejandro Amarante has mandated forensic extraction of the attendant’s cellphone to recover messages and emails that could reveal the contraband’s chain of custody.
  • A Supreme Court–registered perito authenticated the jewelry as genuine gold (16-21 carats) and set its value at ARS 58,004,000 in a court-ordered appraisal.
  • A home search in mid-May yielded US$ 93,920 and € 15,730 in cash now held as evidence while the case remains before the Juzgado Nacional en lo Penal Económico N°5.
  • Investigators are working to trace potential third-party networks behind the shipment as the probe stays in the evidentiary phase without a trial date set.
