Overview
- Two men, aged 23 and 26, used 125 counterfeit 20,000‑peso bills totaling 2.5 million pesos to buy a Honda GLH 150 listed on Facebook Marketplace in Miramar on August 12.
- After the buyers left with the signed papers, the seller discovered the bills were fake and filed a police complaint.
- A cellphone the buyers left at the seller’s home enabled police to trace the suspects, recover the motorcycle, and seize additional counterfeit notes.
- Local officers from Destacamento Las Flores detained the suspects and opened a case for circulation of counterfeit currency under federal jurisdiction.
- Federal prosecutor Carlos Martínez ordered the bike returned to seller Franco Caro based on good‑faith possession, with conditions to keep it in proper condition and present it if the court requests.
