Argentine Federal Police dismantle 27 billion peso laundering network
The Argentine Federal Police (PFA) have dismantled a criminal network involved in large-scale money laundering. The organization allegedly moved approximately 27 billion Argentine pesos through illicit channels.
The scheme targeted vulnerable individuals, offering them 80,000 pesos in exchange for their identity documents and biometric data, such as facial recognition and eye scans. These stolen identities were then used to open bank accounts and digital wallets, which the group controlled to facilitate rapid transfers and hide the origin of funds. Much of the money was reportedly linked to an illegal online casino.
Authorities have arrested several individuals, including Albertina Mangini, an official linked to the Patronato de Liberados in Buenos Aires province. The investigation also implicates Ignacio Leonel Marchioni, who is reportedly connected to the Sur Finanzas case. The operation follows a two-year investigation into the use of biometric data for fraudulent financial activities.
