Fabián Rossi was arrested and is going to Pavilion K: he will share a cell with famous corrupt individuals

Fabián Rossi, the financier and ex-husband of Iliana Calabró, turned himself in to authorities this Monday at the Comodoro Py courthouse, complying with the arrest warrant issued by Judge Néstor Costabel, after the confirmation of his conviction in the case known as the K Money Trail. His most likely destination is Ezeiza prison, specifically module 1, K wing, a section reserved for high-profile and "white-collar" inmates, as revealed by journalist Martín Candalaft on the DDM program hosted by Mariana Fabbiani.

"It's called the 'famous wing.' By a striking alphabetical coincidence, he got K," Candalaft explained.

Fabián Rossi detained: his life in the "K wing," among corrupt officials, drug traffickers, and abusers

In that wing, which doesn't house common inmates but those convicted of corruption, money laundering, sexual abuse, or ties to drug trafficking, Rossi will live in an individual cell, like the rest of his fellow inmates. "It's not a violent wing, but rather a quiet one. But with heavyweights," the journalist clarified.

Among his possible neighbors is Ricardo Jaime, former Secretary of Transportation convicted of corruption and for his responsibility in the Once tragedy.  The space is also shared by Elías David Piccirillo,  ex-husband of Jésica Cirio,  linked to money laundering cases. Piccirillo occupies cell 5, Jaime cell 6. Rossi could be placed in a nearby one.

"Imagine all of them together in there. Some already adapted, like Jaime, who knows the wing inside out," Candalaft said ironically.

The list of names also includes Julio César Castro, a former chief prosecutor convicted of sexual abuse and gender-based violence; Mariano José Mera Alba,  former advisor to a former Interior Minister, involved in a kidnapping with alleged complicity from Boca's barra brava; and José Alberto Uriburu, a lawyer known for running marathons on his balcony during the pandemic, but detained for being part of a kidnapping gang.

Additionally, Ulises Romero Godoy, a key drug trafficker from Villa 1-11-14,  also shares the wing. They are joined by Juan Ariel Cristian Heine,  involved in land seizures in San Vicente, and Gustavo Alberto Semorile, a lawyer involved in a mixed gang of drug traffickers, police officers, and judicial officials.

A VIP wing with scandalous criminal records

The "K wing" thus seems like a snapshot of Argentina's most high-profile cases: corruption, power, and scandal.  They all have something in common, Candalaft points out: "They have money. And inside prison, that matters."

The cells, as described, have the bare minimum: bed, bathroom with a steel mirror (no glass for security), and a small closet. They also have a shared kitchen and patio. But the wing is experiencing tensions: the inmates filed a formal complaint refusing to continue eating the prison food.

"The universe arranges things," Candalaft said ironically about the fate that brings together the protagonists of one of the country's most high-profile corruption plots.

Rossi turned himself in early, just after 9:30 a.m., ahead of schedule. He spent the weekend knowing this moment would come: "I'd like to know what those days were like, knowing he had to turn himself in," the journalist reflected. After his time at the Federal Police headquarters in Lugano, he will be transferred to Ezeiza prison.

The rest of those convicted in the K Money Trail case, except for Lázaro Báez and his son Martín (whose situation is still being evaluated), also appeared before the courts. In total, five of the six accused complied with the court order, which was made possible after the Supreme Court's ruling that upheld the sentences handed down by Federal Oral Court 4.

Thus, the "K wing" becomes a symbol of the times: a space where fallen power lives with its own ghosts. And where punishment, though selective, is still prison.
