Overview
- The Ministry of Security confirmed the arrest after a joint investigation with authorities in San Juan and Mendoza.
- Police reported Morales tried to flee and was found with a firearm, two vehicles, documents, and his cellphone.
- Two raids in Mendoza included a vacated downtown office and a secured house in Guaymallén stocked with catering gear and food in decomposition.
- At least five complaints are now on record with Economic Crimes Prosecutor Susana Muscinisi, covering school graduations, weddings, and a $10 million quinceañera.
- Hours before the arrest, Morales sent WhatsApp messages saying the company would keep operating and offering case-by-case refunds or reprogramming, which victims rejected as they report no repayments.
