Overview
- Judge Marcelo Aguinsky took sworn statements from two helicopter pilots who said repeated trips to the property's helipad were training flights and that they transported no people or cargo.
- Investigators lack passenger lists or identifications, the helipad logbook was not found, and the court requested additional records from the operator to reconstruct the flights.
- The helicopter was operated by Flyzar, a firm previously contracted by the AFA, and the pilots said they would not recognize Pablo Toviggino or Claudio “Chiqui” Tapia from photos.
- The estate was purchased on May 30, 2024 by Real Central SRL, whose listed owners report incomes seen as incompatible with the deal, and an official appraisal puts the property near US$17 million versus a deed for US$1.8 million.
- A search at the property yielded items linked to the AFA and to Toviggino’s family, and the case advances alongside a prosecutorial request to investigate senior AFA figures over alleged large-scale fund diversion.
