Overview
- Luciano Pantano and Ana Lucía Conte asked to suspend the case during the judicial recess, but Judge Marcelo Aguinsky denied the request and kept the investigation active.
- The defense appealed to the feria chamber made up of Carolina Robiglio and Leopoldo Bruglia, which is now considering whether to uphold Aguinsky’s decision.
- The inquiry is testing whether Pantano and Conte act as fronts for AFA official Pablo Toviggino in a purchase declared at USD 1.8 million in May 2024 versus an official appraisal near USD 17 million.
- Active measures include information requests and the summons of two helicopter pilots who operated at the property to help identify frequent passengers.
- Case files cite AFA-linked evidence such as items seized at the estate and records that vehicle TelePase charges were paid with an AFA corporate card issued to Pantano, while a separate jurisdiction dispute is before the Federal Chamber of San Martín.
