Judge-Ordered Raid on AFA Whistleblower Matías Yofe’s Home

Judicial officials say the operation stems from a theft probe involving the whistleblower in the AFA property case.

Overview

  • Judge Walter Federico Saettone authorized the search at the request of prosecutor Germán Camafreitas in an investigation for alleged robbery or larceny.
  • Buenos Aires provincial police investigators (DDI) carried out the raid and seized phones, computers, storage devices and documents under the court order.
  • Yofe was in Mar del Plata when officers arrived at his Buenos Aires residence, where his wife and a four-month-old baby were present.
  • Yofe and Elisa Carrió allege officers did not show a warrant and threatened to handcuff the wife and take the baby, claims that have not been independently verified.
  • The Coalición Cívica figure recently denounced a roughly $20 million Villa Rosa estate as secretly linked to AFA treasurer Pablo Toviggino, a separate case now under Judge Marcelo Aguinsky.
