During the operations, arrests were made of the well-known “little trees”, who offer to buy and sell currency illegally in the streets, buildings and some commercial galleries.
Security forces carry out operations and raids in “caves” of the microcentro of Buenos Aires in the midst of the escalation of the price of Dolar bluethat It’s already over $710.
According to police sources, during the operations arrests were made of the acquaintances “Little trees”who offer to buy and sell currency illegally on the street, in buildings, and in some shopping malls.
The persecution of sellers of the informal dollar began last week, after the warning of the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, to go out and look for those who speculate on the price and sell dollars illegally. Thus, it was learned through informants and plainclothes police that many “cueveros” moved through the microcentro with the belts that are worn at the waist, and not with the usual backpacks Where do they get the tickets? This maneuver halted operations and delayed buying and selling.
In addition, it transpired that two important financial companies in the City of Buenos Aires that move “large volume in the market” have not operated in recent days. And the “caves” or smaller offices did not want to open for fear of arrests and seizures of money. This directly impacted a drop in supply in the illegal market, and therefore, in the price increases that are observed this Tuesday, almost 48 hours before the PASO 2023 elections.
