Exen gym chain money laundering investigation

Overview

Authorities in Argentina are conducting a federal investigation into the Exen (or Exxen) gym chain regarding alleged money laundering. Overseen by Federal Judge Zunilda Niremperger in Resistencia, the probe focuses on financial traceability, asset analysis, and tax regimes.

Recent developments include the arrest of María Graciela Canal and Sergio Nicolás Clinis Canal, who surrendered to migration officials at the San Ignacio de Loyola International Bridge in Clorinda. Both were wanted via Interpol red notices and are accused of involvement in an aggravated money laundering scheme, bringing the total number of detainees to five.

The judicial actions have caused significant social consequences, including the closure of several commercial locations and the loss of approximately 80 jobs in the Gran Resistencia area. In response, employees have filed an autonomous injunction to seek the reopening of three specific branches located on Arturo Illia, Las Heras Avenue, and Santiago del Estero. Represented by lawyer Ignacio Sinkovich, the workers argue they are “third parties in good faith” and should not lose their livelihoods during the criminal proceedings.

In a related expansion of police activity, federal police have conducted raids on the VIVA gym chain in Resistencia and Corrientes. This new investigation focuses on potential violations of drug trafficking laws, occurring alongside the ongoing legal actions against the Exxen Gym chain.
