Overview
- Police seized 1,060 head from the Carlos Tercero feedlot in Chaján following court-ordered searches tied to a May 2025 complaint of an estimated ARS 800 million cattle-sale fraud.
- The animals, valued at about ARS 2 billion, were assigned to the complainant as judicial custodian and moved to a field in Fortuna, San Luis.
- Two people, Iván Fiorini and Ana Paula Courreges, are already charged in the case as investigators traced the herd’s interprovincial movements with SENASA records.
- Prosecutors are evaluating summoning feedlot owner Carlos J. Lanser for possible encubrimiento, and he denies wrongdoing, asserting full traceability and filing legal challenges.
- Authorities reported resistance during the operation, which was executed under an exhorto from La Pampa and warrants issued in Córdoba.
