Overview

  • Judge Martín Yadarola has ordered authorities to identify the customs, migration and ANAC officials and vehicles involved in the Bombardier Global 5000 landing at Aeroparque on February 26.
  • He has requested cooperation from the United States and France to obtain flight logs and detailed inventories of the aircraft’s unscanned luggage.
  • Investigators have flagged discrepancies between the declared departure from Fort Lauderdale and evidence suggesting the jet actually left from Opa-locka, revealing gaps in ANAC oversight.
  • Prosecutors emphasize that ten pieces of luggage were brought in without scanning or full declaration under a VIP customs channel despite no operational need.
  • President Javier Milei and senior officials maintain that all procedures were lawful and discretionary and deny that any directives influenced the customs process.
