Overview
- Spanish police arrested Marcelo Alejandro Heber Pelegri on May 6 in a San Isidro fraud probe.
- A judge signed a diplomatic petition on May 7 that asks Spain to extradite him to Argentina.
- The case is led by San Isidro prosecutor Cecilia Chaieb under Argentina’s fraud statute, Article 172.
- Complainant Nora Kriesghaber says she invested more than $500,000 and gold bars in a bracelet venture that touted celebrity ties.
- Spanish authorities will now review the request, a process that can slow the Argentine case and draw public interest given his past marriage to actress Grecia Colmenares.
