Overview
- The prosecutor has formally identified the intermediary nicknamed “Pato” as Patricio Guido Marre and requested his incoming and outgoing call records for January 2022 through December 2023 to map his contacts.
- The identification rests on forensic analysis of Martín Migueles’s phone, which showed a contact saved as “Pato Juli,” chat threads about splitting commissions and a meeting in Nordelta on January 18, 2023.
- Investigators are running a parallel financial inquiry into the dollar 'rulo' scheme and cite a BCRA supervisory finding that Arg Exchange carried out unauthorized activity after buying and selling more than $250 million in 2023.
- Picardi has also asked the Nordelta neighborhood association for visitor logs for the homes of Elias Piccirillo and Martín Migueles covering 2020–2024 to find who visited and to link intermediaries to possible officials.
- Prosecutors plan to combine telecom, banking and administrative records to identify other intermediaries named in chats, to trace the pesos used to buy official dollars and to seek higher-level official responsibility or money‑laundering ties.
