Los padres de los egresados de la Escuela de Comercio 19 de Eldorado, en Misiones pudieron hacer la fiesta de egresados, a pesar de la estafa.

Overview

  • Parents report that roughly ARS 17–17.8 million raised over eight months from 35 families was missing hours before the reception, with catering, DJ, photographer and other services unpaid.
  • In WhatsApp messages, Romina Enríquez admitted using the pooled money for casino bets and cited a gambling problem; her lawyer says she is not evading justice and filed for eximición de prisión with a psychiatric certificate.
  • The Juzgado de Instrucción N.º 2 in Eldorado is taking statements after a criminal complaint for alleged administración fraudulenta/estafa, with police gathering evidence and documentation from families and providers.
  • The reception went ahead after an emergency outlay estimated at ARS 8–10 million, community contributions and the Eldorado mayor acting as guarantor, while families supplied food to replace the original catering.
  • After the case surfaced, additional alleged victims approached authorities, and some reports now cite a possible total under investigation higher than the initial figure, with estimates reaching ARS 25 million.
