Overview
- The Tucumán judge Augusto Paz Almonacid dismissed charges against Sebastián Sosa, José Florentín, Braian Cufré and Abiel Osorio, citing phone forensics and a psychological report that he said supported consent.
- The judge rejected the complainant’s bid to nullify the digital analyses, and the accuser’s legal team said it will appeal the ruling.
- Federal raids at AFA’s Viamonte HQ, its Ezeiza complex and Javier Faroni’s home uncovered a 2021 contract granting TourProdEnter exclusivity and 30% commissions plus 10% for logistics on AFA’s foreign deals.
- Judge Luis Armella broadened the financial investigation, lifted banking and fiscal secrecy, and sought U.S. bank records in a probe that alleges about US$42 million was routed to Miami shell companies; AFA said it is cooperating.
- Faroni was briefly stopped from flying to Uruguay and is now cited to testify on January 19, 2026, as the Federal Chamber of La Plata assigned ARCA’s case against Sur Finanzas to Judge Federico Villena.
