Elías Piccirillo was arrested last Thursday as part of an investigation led by prosecutor Franco Picardi. He is linked to a series of serious accusations. The businessman is known for his ties to the financial sector and for having been the ex-husband of host Jesica Cirio.
Piccirillo is being investigated for alleged fraud and unlawful deprivation of liberty, after being accused of fabricating a false case to incriminate financier Francisco Hauque, to whom he owes more than six million dollars at the free exchange rate.
According to the investigation, the ex of the model and businesswoman allegedly placed a 9-millimeter pistol and 1.2 kilograms (2.64 pounds) of cocaine in the financier's car so that the suspected agents would conduct a vehicle check, find the items, and proceed with his arrest.
