The procedure was carried out in the context of the case involving alleged money laundering that involves Martín Insaurralde
As these items are not part of the main object of the investigation being conducted by federal judge Luis Armella and prosecutor Sergio Mola, both decided to refer that part of the case file to the Federal Justice of Buenos Aires City for further proceedings.
A new raid at one of Jesica Cirio's properties has once again placed the host in the center of a judicial investigation. During a procedure carried out in an apartment in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo, where she currently resides with her partner Nicolás Trombino, National Gendarmerie officers found cocaine, firearms, ammunition, and cash.
The operation took place last Sunday as part of the case investigating the assets of former Buenos Aires Chief of Cabinet Martín Insaurralde for alleged money laundering and illicit enrichment, a case that was initiated following the dissemination of the trip that the former official took on a luxurious yacht in the Mediterranean.
According to the judicial investigation, during the search, the officers seized two packages containing suspicious substances. One of them contained a pink powder weighing less than a gram, while the other held a brownish granular substance. Both items were subjected to a preliminary test conducted on-site, which returned a positive result for cocaine.
According to the information included in the case file, the pink substance could correspond to the so-called "tusi" or pink cocaine, although its definitive composition will need to be determined through laboratory tests.
In addition to the discovery of narcotics, investigators seized a 12-gauge shotgun and a 9-millimeter Glock pistol, along with magazines and several boxes of ammunition compatible with both weapons.
People close to the couple stated that the pistol is registered in the name of Nicolás Trombino and that it has the documentation required by the National Agency for Controlled Materials (ANMaC). They also asserted that the drugs found in the apartment would be for personal use and belong to the businessman.
The judicial order was not aimed at the seizure of drugs or weapons. The main objective was to locate electronic devices and documentation that could provide information for the case analyzing Martín Insaurralde's asset evolution.
During the procedure, in addition to the narcotics and weaponry, investigators seized approximately $19,000 in cash, cell phones, and other items that will now be analyzed by the Justice.
Simultaneously, another raid was also conducted in an apartment in Banfield linked to Elías Piccirillo, Jesica Cirio's ex-partner, who remains under house arrest in a case where he is accused of orchestrating a scheme to incriminate a businessman with whom he had an economic conflict.
