In a complaint filed by the Federal Public Revenue Administration, the magistrate in charge of the Federal Criminal and Correctional Court No. 1 of San Isidro, Dr. Sandra Arroyo Salgado, ordered more than 200 search warrants.
The case investigates the existence of an illicit association that operated and provided thousands of taxpayers with various illegal mechanisms to evade tax obligations. Such maneuvers would have been deployed primarily in the period 2012-2015, providingo apocryphal electronic billing, generation of false tax and social security withholdings, irregular granting of “special” payment plans and irregular approval of documentation for customs imports.
The actions were based on a complaint filed by AFIP in the federal jurisdiction of the province of Salta, and the court of that city pushed the investigation until it was able to determine that the criminal organization was based in the northern area of the Buenos Aires metropolitan area, providing its services throughout the national territory.
Among the measures mentioned, which affect homes throughout the country, the arrest of those who would be identified as the leaders/organizers of the criminal maneuvers was also ordered.
The organization would have had the assistance of officials of the Fiscal Agency, some of whom held high-ranking positions in the management of those years, which is why raids are also carried out in several AFIP offices.
