Pilar Estate Raid Seizes 54 Vehicles as AFA Probe Moves to Economic Crimes Court

The Federal Appeals Court reassigned the file to Judge Marcelo Aguinsky after Judge Daniel Rafecas ordered embargoes and a full valuation of the property.

Overview

  • Federal Police found 54 vehicles in a Villa Rosa, Pilar estate—45 luxury or collector cars, seven high‑displacement motorcycles and two kartings—all registered to Real Central SRL.
  • Before the jurisdiction change, Judge Daniel Rafecas imposed a preventive embargo on the estate and ordered the immobilization of all vehicles and movable assets under anti‑money‑laundering provisions.
  • Six court‑appointed appraisers—three from the Supreme Court and three from the San Isidro auctioneers’ college—are valuing the property and assets with comprehensive video and photographic documentation.
  • Sala I of the Federal Chamber transferred the case to Economic Criminal Court No. 10, led by Judge Marcelo Aguinsky, with Rafecas’ on‑site measures continuing until completion.
  • The broader investigation includes the Sur Finanzas case, where Judge Luis Armella ordered the detention of treasurer Micaela Sánchez after raids that seized phones, computers and documents.
