Judge Seals Pilar Mansion Case as Investigators Step Up AFA-Linked Asset Probe

Investigators are pursuing records to map alleged front companies tied to AFA treasurer Pablo Toviggino.

Overview

  • Judge Marcelo Aguinsky placed the Villa Rosa mansion investigation under secreto de sumario after a request by prosecutor Claudio Navas Rial.
  • Federal officers searched an accounting office in Lomas de Zamora for links among Malte SRL, Central Park Drinks and Real Central SRL, with no paper records found on site.
  • Earlier raids at the Pilar estate seized 54 vehicles and items investigators say tie the property to Toviggino, and a preventive embargo remains in force.
  • The estate is registered to Real Central SRL, owned by Luciano Pantano and his mother, after a 2024 sale for about USD 1.8 million, and prosecutors question the buyers’ ability to fund such assets.
  • Aguinsky requested helipad and flight logs as part of the asset-tracing effort, which runs alongside wider probes into AFA-related finances such as the Sur Finanzas cases, while opposition figures amplify allegations.
