An investigation into former official Martín Insaurralde regarding alleged money laundering and illicit enrichment has centered on video footage showing large quantities of US dollars. Technical analysis by the Argentine Federal Police’s Scopometry Division confirmed that recordings depicting Jésica Cirio with bundles of cash—estimated to be nearly US$10 million—were filmed at the San Vicente residence shared by the couple, rather than at a different property.

Following this technical confirmation, a federal judge in Lomas de Zamora rejected defense motions to nullify the video evidence. With the validity of the recordings upheld, the court is set to proceed with prosecutorial requests to summon relevant parties in the case.

Based on the forensic confirmation that the video of vacuum-sealed US dollar bundles was filmed inside Insaurralde’s property, prosecutor Sergio Mola is expanding the investigation into illicit enrichment and money laundering against both Insaurralde and his former partner, Jésica Cirio. This evidence is being integrated into the broader inquiry regarding accounting discrepancies where Insaurralde’s recorded expenses significantly exceeded his declared income.
