Official Appraisal Values Pilar Estate at $20.8 Million, Deepening AFA Laundering Inquiry

Judge Marcelo Aguinsky seeks tax data alongside helipad logs to trace the estate’s true ownership.

Overview

  • The court-added valuation totals $20,815,100, including 54 seized vehicles assessed at $3,861,100 and extensive buildings and amenities on the Villa Rosa property.
  • The deed lists a $1.8 million purchase price, creating a near tenfold gap that investigators cite as a key red flag in the money-laundering probe.
  • The estate is registered to Real Central SRL, tied to Luciano Pantano and his mother Ana Conte, whose economic profiles do not align with the assets under review.
  • Pantano and Conte face travel bans, asset freezes and account blocks, and they postponed their statements as the inquiry examines potential links to AFA officials, especially treasurer Pablo Toviggino.
  • Judge Aguinsky incorporated the 550-page report, ordered a DGI financial analysis of related companies and requested helipad usage records, after a peritaje originally commissioned by Judge Daniel Rafecas was transferred into the current case file.
