Overview
- Witnesses who testified at Tribunal Oral Federal N°7 in hearings on June 18–19 said official luggage for presidential trips was frequently not scanned and was often loaded by ceremonial staff or brought directly from helicopters.
- Several former crew members reported that mobile X‑ray scanners were used only occasionally and that crew bags were checked by the Policía de Seguridad Aeroportuaria while official valises were handled separately.
- Multiple pilots described Daniel Muñoz making exclusive flights in which he kept a medium locked suitcase beside him rather than checking it into the hold and being collected at remote points on the runway.
- Prosecutors are presenting these operational details to show a plausible method for moving cash described in Oscar Centeno’s notebooks from Buenos Aires to Santa Cruz.
- The trial remains in its evidentiary phase with more witnesses to be heard and prior court decisions, including the processing of Muñoz’s widow Carolina Pochetti over foreign assets, forming part of the developing record.
