Overview
- ARCA/DGI lodged the case with Federal Prosecutor’s Office No. 2 in Lomas de Zamora, accusing Sur Finanzas PSP S.A. of tax evasion and laundering tied to large, atypical transfers.
- The DGI’s Regional Sur audit traced flows through Sur Finanzas’ wallet since 2024 and flagged users including low-capacity monotributistas, non-categorized contributors and entities listed as apocryphal, which may also breach Central Bank rules for PSPs.
- Federal judge Sebastián Casanello and prosecutor Franco Picardi ordered a raid on the firm’s Adrogué offices within the Andis ‘route of the money’ probe, seizing records after messages referenced crypto moves via the NEBLOCKSHAIN app.
- The Penal Económico court lifted Maximiliano Ariel Vallejo’s banking and tax secrecy to map his assets, with information requests sent to AFIP, the Central Bank, banks, registries and credit card networks.
- Sur Finanzas, rebranded from Neblockchain in 2024, expanded in Argentine football through sponsorships and loans, including an estimated 2,000 million–peso facility to San Lorenzo, while Vallejo is publicly linked to AFA president Claudio ‘Chiqui’ Tapia.
