As part of an investigation that intensified following the release of compromising videos, the Justice system ordered raids on properties linked to Jesica Cirio, where dollars, weapons, and an unidentified substance were seized.
The operations took place during the early hours of Sunday and were carried out by National Gendarmerie, at the request of prosecutor Sergio Mola and federal judge Luis Armella.
One of the operations occurred in the model's apartment located in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Las Cañitas, at the intersection of Ortega y Gasset and Libertador.

There, the officers found approximately 19 thousand dollars in cash, registered firearms in the name of her current partner, businessman Nicolás Trombino, and two grams of a powder whose composition has not yet been determined.
At the time of the operation, Cirio was not present, which forced the personnel to break in with the help of the building manager.
In parallel, another raid was conducted at a property in Nordelta belonging to her ex-partner, Elías Piccirillo, who is under house arrest for a different case. During that operation, the agents seized his cell phone, but after accessing the device with the password provided by Piccirillo himself, they were unable to find the videos that prompted the investigation.
Jesica Cirio
The main objective of the prosecution was to locate the recordings that circulated recently, which allegedly show Cirio in a dressing room manipulating large sums of money in dollars, presumably in a property she shared years ago with Kirchnerist Martín Insaurralde. However, this material was not found in any of the operations.
According to reports, the prosecution requested the newspaper La Nación for the images released on Saturday, which are believed to have initiated the case. The existence of these videos was previously mentioned by Francisco Hauque, a former partner of Piccirillo, who claimed to have seen the material and stated that “several people can testify to that video.”
In the same vein, journalist Diego Suárez had declared days earlier that he had access to the recordings, publicly stating that the content was in the possession of the financier. However, despite these testimonies, authorities were unable to locate the file during the raids.
Before the operations, prosecutor Mola had already expressed his intention to incorporate these videos into the case file. In court, they believe that, if confirmed authentic, the displayed money could be interpreted as undeclared assets, which would worsen Insaurralde's judicial situation.
The investigation is ongoing, focusing on locating the audiovisual material and determining the origin of the funds appearing in the images.
