Prosecutor Backs Moving AFA U.S.-Records Case to Campana With Casación to Decide

The ruling will determine whether related probes are unified in Campana into a single case.

Overview

  • Prosecutor Silvana Russi formally advised that the alleged defraudation tied to U.S. banking records should be investigated by the Campana federal court.
  • The Cámara de Casación must now resolve the jurisdiction dispute, with judges Javier Carbajo, Angela Ledesma and Mariano Borinsky assigned to the panel.
  • Campana judge Adrián González Charvay has requested custody of all related files to consolidate them in his court, and judges Paula Petazzi and Luis Armella must respond to his bid.
  • U.S. discovery records detail at least $42 million routed to four Miami shell companies and about $55 million across a broader group, including transfers from TourProdEnter accounts and a PNC Bank account that collected about $13 million and funneled over $3 million to the same network.
  • The investigation under Russi has taken limited steps without new raids, and reporting notes that a consolidation in Campana could create a single megacase viewed as advantageous for the defenses of AFA leaders Claudio Tapia and Pablo Toviggino.
