Argentine authorities are investigating María Soledad Calle, a union leader and La Cámpora activist, for alleged financial crimes including fraudulent administration, embezzlement, and money laundering. The probe centers on a 2023 agreement involving the company USEM SA, which was tasked with managing funds from the Unión Obrera Metalúrgica (UOM). Investigators are scrutinizing whether these funds were used to finance Calle’s purchase of a US$ 189,000 apartment and a US$ 70,000 BMW. The investigation has gained significant attention because Calle’s ~~new~~ apartment at San José 1111 is located directly below the residence of former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who is currently serving house arrest.

Her legal defense maintains that the acquisition was made using her own resources and was intended to serve as the headquarters for a foundation dedicated to studies on Argentine development. However, the defense has not provided specific details regarding the foundation’s name or planned activities. Investigators continue to examine Calle’s assets, including her ownership of vehicles, to determine if her wealth aligns with her reported income.
