Overview
- Federal investigators froze hundreds of accounts, ordered embargos and registry checks, and notified the central bank and the financial intelligence unit to preserve assets tied to Sur Finanzas.
- The DGI-ARCA complaint alleges tax evasion of about 3.3 billion pesos and the handling of more than 800 billion pesos through operations using purportedly fake monotributistas and digital wallets.
- Case files highlight a monotributista who billed modestly yet moved roughly 87,000 million pesos via virtual wallets and transactions linked to Sur Finanzas, with similar outsized flows detected in several other low-category taxpayers.
- Bank records show cheques issued by businessman Elías Piccirillo were deposited into an account of Neblockchain SA, the former name of Sur Finanzas, prompting new raids that seized documents to map the cheque route.
- Searches found largely emptied safes and dismantled offices, and investigators seized a luxury car linked to Ariel Vallejo, while a separate judicial clash escalated as Judge Federico Villena filed a criminal complaint accusing Prosecutor Cecilia Incardona of forum shopping.
