Overview
- Formal titleholders Luciano Pantano and Ana Lucía Conte asked to pause the case until February, but Economic Criminal Court Judge Marcelo Aguinsky denied the request and enabled work during the January recess.
- The defense appealed the refusal, leaving the matter with the chamber’s recess panel of Carolina Robiglio and Leopoldo Bruglia.
- A separate jurisdiction fight continues after Campana’s federal judge sought the file; the Federal Chamber of San Martín will decide which court keeps the case.
- Investigators are examining whether AFA treasurer Pablo Toviggino is the true beneficiary behind a property recorded under Real Central SRL, bought in May 2024 for US$1.8 million despite an official valuation near US$17 million.
- Searches seized 54 luxury and collector vehicles and items linked to AFA and Barracas Central, while records show the cars’ TelePASE tolls were paid with an AFA corporate card in Pantano’s name averaging about 50 million pesos per month in 2025; ongoing steps include information requests and summoning two helicopter pilots as witnesses.
