The federal judge Luis Armella ordered the prohibition of leaving the country for both the former Kirchnerist official Martín Insaurraldeand his ex-partner, Jesica Cirio.
However, he rejected the request for detention that had been made by prosecutor Sergio Mola, within the framework of the judicial case investigating the former official for alleged illicit enrichment and money laundering.
The magistrate also established additional limitations on the mobility of both individuals. Specifically, they must comply with the “obligation not to leave a radius of fifty kilometers from the reported residence, without prior judicial authorization, and the obligation to inform the Court, with sufficient advance notice, of any movement that involves an absence of more than twenty-four hours from said residence.”

The request for detention made by prosecutor Mola was based on the existence of a presumed risk of interference in the investigation. He argued that there was a possibility of manipulation, destruction, concealment, or alteration of relevant evidence for the case.
The case gained momentum after the release of videos recorded in 2023, in which bundles of dollars are seen in the dressing room of a house belonging to Insaurralde, located in a private neighborhood in San Vicente.
Based on that material, the Justice system proceeded with raids on residences linked to Cirio and also to financier Elías Piccirillo, in addition to ordering the examination of the cell phone that the model handed over to the authorities.
One of the central points of the investigation is to determine the exact amount of money displayed in the images. According to estimates from investigators, the sum could be around ten million dollars, which reinforces suspicions about the origin of the funds.

In parallel, the figure of Piccirillo is also under scrutiny. The financier, who maintained a relationship with Cirio after her separation from Insaurralde, is currently under house arrest in another case, where he is accused of having set up an operation to falsely charge a creditor with drug trafficking.
The case, identified as FLP 38935/2023, investigates Insaurralde for the crimes of money laundering, as defined in article 303 of the Penal Code, and illicit enrichment, covered in article 268, section 1. The period under analysis spans from 2009 to 2023.
The investigative lines include the review of security cameras, the analysis of seized electronic devices, and the tracking of financial movements. Additionally, images of the former official sailing on a yacht in the Mediterranean with Sofía Clerici were included in the case file, which raised further suspicions about his wealth.
Among the measures ordered by the judge is the ocular inspection of the San Vicente residence, which occupies two lots within the “Fincas de San Vicente Club de Chacras” neighborhood. Records of entries and exits to the country club since 2022 were also requested, with the aim of verifying whether the released images actually correspond to that property.
Furthermore, the magistrate summoned two former domestic employees and Walter de la Fuente, accountant for the company Sasaxa Libero SA, which is listed as the registered owner of the property under investigation.
With these measures, the investigation continues to focus on clarifying the origin of the detected funds and determining the real ownership of the assets linked to the former Kirchnerist official and his close circle.
