An investigation by the Argentine Federal Police (PFA) resulted in the arrest of a Kirchnerist businessman identified as one of the leaders of a narco-criminal structure derived from the historic clan of San Martín led by Miguel Ángel "Mameluco" Villalba.
The operation led to the discovery of a significant amount of cash, financial documentation, and items considered key to tracking maneuvers linked to money laundering.
The suspect, identified as D.D.C., age 58, was apprehended on November 14 in the heart of the Almagro neighborhood, while walking at the intersection of Corrientes Avenue and Gascón. The arrest was carried out without resistance and, according to sources in the case, was executed as part of an investigation that had been monitoring his movements for several months.

At the time of his arrest, officers seized a 2016 iPhone, just over 262,000 pesos, one dollar, 15 Brazilian reais, and a shoulder bag containing two wallets filled with various papers. The most striking find was the 31 credit and debit cards all in his name, as well as six keys that would later prove essential for other procedural measures.
Minutes after D.D.C.'s arrest, the PFA conducted a raid just a few meters away, in a fourth-floor apartment of a building located at 4200 Corrientes Avenue. There, his partner, A.A.T., age 23, was detained, and eleven cell phones, nearly 83,000 pesos in cash, four bill counting machines, and a digital scale were seized, among other devices that could be linked to the organization's operations.
The following morning was marked by one of the most important discoveries in the case. Federal officers arrived at branch 22 of Banco Ciudad, at 2400 Rivadavia Avenue, where they executed a search warrant issued by Federal Court No. 2, presided over by Judge Alicia Vence. Upon opening the safe deposit box associated with the detainee, investigators found 490,100 dollars in high-denomination bills.

Detectives suspect that at least part of this money could originate from drug trafficking activities and may have been placed or concealed through commercial ventures.
D.D.C. is listed as president of a company dedicated to the sale of bakery products, with two or three stores of its own, although the financial volume detected doesn't match the expected income from that activity. Investigators also do not rule out that illegal capital may have been invested in a construction company.
On social media, the accused presents himself as the owner of a bakery franchise and declares his political activism, describing himself as "Peronist to the core." He also displays a background in gardening and incomplete law studies at the University of Buenos Aires.
