Overview
- Juan Andrés Zurvera, 31, was charged with repeated fraud, falsification of public documents, and usurpation of title by the Rafaela prosecutor’s office.
- Judge Javier Bottero ordered preventive detention without term as investigators continue to gather complaints, testimony, and forensic evidence.
- Searches uncovered a fake judicial seal hidden inside a hollow brick plus phones, a laptop, and documents bearing counterfeit digital signatures of magistrates.
- Investigators verified about ARS 18,000,000 in transfers between January and November 2025 within an alleged scheme totaling roughly ARS 54,000,000 across at least 10 incidents.
- Zurvera never graduated—he passed only 13 law subjects—and leveraged local standing, including a role at Club Unión de Sunchales, to recruit victims as the club publicly distanced itself.
