A Martin Insaurralde They don’t give you the accounts. The prosecutor specialized in money laundering He made a lapidary report in which he spoke of “unjustified wealth enrichment” by the former mayor of Lomas de Zamora and former Buenos Aires chief of staff. To reach that conclusion he established that between 2021 and 2023 spent more than $100,000 on trips to the United States and Europeincluding the trip on the Bandido yacht through Marbella, when his salary was just over $1,800, with no other declared income.
In addition, the researchers detected that at least three contracting companies of the Municipality of Lomas de Zamora appear linked to assets that Insaurralde used as his own, such as a house in a country from San Vicente in the name of a company, which was never declared; a Hyundai truck and the department of Puerto Madero where he lived with Jesica Cirio.
This is clear from the report made by the Office of the Attorney General for Economic Crime and Money Laundering (PROCELAC) in charge of Diego Velasco, who dived with his team into the former official’s estate. As a result of these and other conclusions, Velasco and his colleague, the Lomas de Zamora prosecutor, Diego Mola they asked the federal judge Ernesto Kreplac to carry out a battery of 18 test measures that include issuing international warrants to the United States, Spain and Switzerland.
From this last place, the company MTIC of Friborg paid for the Nobu hotel Marbellawhere he stayed Sofia Clerici with his sister Renata before the trip with Insaurralde on the yacht Bandido. Likewise, the prosecution asked to investigate the lavish wedding party of Insaurralde and Cirio in the Manea Tristán Suárez Polo Clubin 2014. In that sense, he asked the company to provide expense invoices and contracts.
“At first glance, it is clear that the hypothesis of unjustified wealth enrichment by Martín Insaurralde, generator of money of illicit origin in acts of corruption, is solid.at the moment unidentified, as well as the subsequent application of the resulting funds to the formal economic market with the appearance of legality and with the interposition of legal and human persons to disguise the illicit origin of the funds, constituting a money laundering scheme. , point out the conclusions of prosecutor Velasco of PROCELAC.
Likewise, Insaurrade failed to declare the assets of Cirio, his wife, in his sworn statements from 2013, 2020 and 2021. The investigators requested to carry out procedures in half a dozen companies, request reports from the AFIP at the cryptocurrency companiessummon new witnesses and carry out appraisals of properties that are being investigated as a possible vehicle for laundering corruption money, the prosecutor’s office said.
Trips
The PROCELAC report includes the trips that Insaurralde made between November 29, 2021 and July 2023. Only those from 2021 and 2022 add up. $38,697, not counting a trip to France, the value of which is not known because Air France did not verify the requests for official reports. In 2023, the former mayor made other trips to the United States, Spain and Austria. One of those trips, in July 2023 to the United States, was contracted from the private secretary of the municipality of Lomas de Zamora, currently in charge of Martin OterminInsaurralde dolphin.
That journey includes his five days in Marbella, where he shared a hotel and yacht with Clerici. On those trips he spent $82,882paid from Miami to the company Forest Travel with a US American Express Card. That is why prosecutors want to know who is behind these payments “that do not appear in their name.”
The five-day trip to Marbella alone took $51,714which included 8,189 passengers in businnes from Iberia, 27,911 euros for the Marbella hotel, in an exclusive villa, 13,716 euros for the rental of The Bandit to the enterprise Offshore Marbella Chartes & Saleswhich included 8 hours of navigation, catering and three bottles of French champagne Moet & Chandon at a rate of 360 euros for all three.
“Insaurralde’s level of expenses is not related to his legitimate income in the public service,” where he worked since 2009 as a national deputy, mayor and chief of staff of Buenos Aires, wrote prosecutor Velasco. And all this without counting the 600,000 dollars found in Sofía Clerici’s house in Nordeltahis 7 wallets Loius Vouitton found there, and the watches Rolex y Cartier which it is inferred that it has given that its boxes and manuals were found. Jesica Cirio’s vehicles, half a dozen including one, are not included in the account either. Ford Territory and a truck Mercedes Benz GLA 250purchased on the same day, September 8, 2023. The last one, for 48 million pesos.
Prosecutors said that “The level of expenses is not consistent with his civil servant salary”, about 16 million pesos in 3 years. His last salary in September 2023 was $1,830, when he spent $57,000 in a week in Marbella.
But the most novel thing that the prosecution found is the relationship between the assets that Insaurralde used as his own and those who appear as their owners, who are linked to public work hired by the Municipality of Lomas de Zamora.
Thus, it was established that Insaurralde and Cirio lived in an apartment in Puerto Madero at 355 Petrona Eyle Street. That property belongs to the firm Revilier SA controlled by the accountant Andres Galera. The accountant Galera was convicted of laundering in another case of illicit enrichment and is being investigated as the alleged supplier of trout invoices to justify the payment of bribes in the causa Skanskafor the expansion of the gas pipeline.
Galera, owner of the apartment where Cirio and Insaurralde lived, controls the company Viani SA, which appears as a contractor for the municipality of Lomas de Zamora. The expenses of the department of Puerto Madero amounted to 727,000 pesos.
Another link between Insaurralde and contractors from Lomas de Zamora is found in the company DOIO SAwhich in 2001 he transferred together with Insaurralde’s ex-wife to the firm According to Libero SAcontrolled by Insaurralde, through his family, the house of country Fincas de San Vicente, Farm Club, where the former official lived and is not declared. Doio was a contractor for the government of the province of Buenos Aires for the paving of Route 16, and while Insaurralde was mayor he built swimming pools and changing rooms in Villa Albertina, the Banfield-Lomas de Zamora transfer station, works in the Deliberative Council, in a Women’s Home and in the Fire Station. Insaurralde was a debtor of Víctor Mariano Dodio, partner of DOIO SRLrecalled prosecutor Velasco.
Finally, the investigators collected another detail: Insaurralde managed a Hyunday 258 H of the company EMA, which granted him a blue card. That truck was purchased by the Municipality of Lomas Zamora in 2021. EMA together with the firm Use the servile were hired to pave the Riverside Road and surrounding streets, in what could constitute the crime of giftsaid prosecutor Velasco.
As if these data were not enough, prosecutor Velasco collected one last detail: Insaurralde had himself taken to the Ezeiza airport to take the flight to go to Marbella in a van. Toyota Hiace Wagonwhich was not his, but that of the Municipality of Lomas de Zamora, where he was mayor on leave, which could constitute the crime of peculation.
The Mola prosecutor’s office, with these data, asked Judge Kreplack to send letters to the United States, Spain and Switzerland. And delve into the purchase of Cirio’s apartment at Ortega y Gasset 1661, floor 18, in the Recoleta Island.
