Overview
- Federal judge Luis Armella set a January 19 hearing for TourProdEnter’s Javier Faroni and Erica Gillette in the inquiry into AFA funds managed in the United States.
- TourProdEnter handled roughly US$260 million from AFA’s overseas deals, with reporting indicating at least US$42 million moved to inactive Florida firms and another US$109 million to a Uruguayan broker using a British Virgin Islands vehicle.
- Bank records cited by TN show a US$142,893 transfer from TourProdEnter to West Nautical Limited on July 22, 2024, consistent with payment for a Monaco yacht on which Claudio Tapia was filmed the following month.
- Separate fiscal charges already impute Tapia, treasurer Pablo Toviggino and others over alleged improper retention of taxes and social contributions exceeding 19 billion pesos, with Judge Diego Amarante advancing requests during the January court recess.
- In a parallel asset probe, a Pilar mansion and more than 50 high‑end vehicles were seized, and a Coinag bank manager testified it was “impossible” that Real Central S.R.L.’s minimal account balances funded the purchases.
