Judge Hidalgo escalated the case. They promised quick homes but left 30 families homeless and with losses in the millions

Judge Gustavo Hidalgo confirmed the summons for the 10 defendants who face serious charges of illicit association and repeated fraud. The judicial investigation determined that the criminal gang deceived more than 30 families, leaving them without the promised housing or their savings. The ruling confirms that there is sufficient evidence to move forward with the oral and public trial in the courts of the city of Córdoba capital.
The group operated under trade names such as Next House SAS and Forte Desarrollista, using fictitious contracts to collect advance payments. Among the accused are Sebastián Laforte and Alan Emmanuel Cano, who allegedly led the fraudulent organization according to the local prosecutor. The suspects face a complex criminal proceeding due to the large number of victims who lost their capital in these operations.
The defendants recruited their victims through social networks, promising short delivery times that were never fulfilled in reality. The gang demanded extra payments with various administrative excuses in order to continue draining the resources of the clients affected by the scheme. These fraudulent practices cause enormous damage to confidence in the real estate market and harm reputable companies in the sector.

Fake renderings and defined roles
The accusation keeps that they used fake renderings and photographs of other people's construction projects to mislead good-faith buyers who paid everything. The case file contains key testimony from former employees who revealed the internal mechanisms of the real estate fraud in the Córdoba courts. The prosecutor's office managed to gather text messages and accounting documentation that seriously implicate all members of the illicit association.
The criminal structure included a boss who negotiated with the victims and an organizer who coordinated the illegal operations of the fake company. The rest of the members acted as salespeople or figureheads to facilitate the flow of funds originating from crimes against the people. The division of tasks demonstrates the premeditated planning to circumvent the law and appropriate the assets of working citizens.

The magistrate denied the end of pretrial detention for the alleged leader of the gang, considering that there is a procedural risk of flight. Judge Hidalgo rejected the defense's motions that attempted to halt the oral and public trial against the 10 defendants for criminal fraud. The justice system seeks to send a clear signal that breach of contracts and commercial fraud will have severe criminal consequences.
