Judge Frees Four Sur Finanzas Staff in Laundering Probe as Chats Tie Boss to Evidence Cover-Up

Investigators now pivot to forensic analysis of seized devices pending UIF intelligence that could define higher-level charges.

Overview

  • Lomas de Zamora federal judge Luis Armella excarcerated Daniela Eliana Sánchez, Juan Soler, César Zapaia and Rolando Soloaga after their depositions, citing no flight or obstruction risk.
  • Phones, computers and other electronics taken from the four remain under judicial custody for expert analysis, and all declined to testify as cooperating witnesses.
  • Prosecutor Cecilia Incardona accuses the group of coordinating the erasure of security footage, concealment of computers and deletion of spreadsheets the day after the December 1 raids.
  • Chats seized by investigators reference owner Ariel Vallejo giving directives on how to proceed, yet he remains under investigation without arrest in the broader alleged laundering scheme tied to football financing.
  • The probe scrutinizes high-interest loans to clubs, including a San Lorenzo case that court filings say proceeded with AFA recommendation, while long-requested UIF reports on money flows have not yet arrived.
