The incredible maneuver with which they “robbed” the BCRA of more than US$325 million in false imports
There are five court cases in full process that investigate a constellation of at least 137 shell companies, created between 2021 and mid-2022, that were used to falsify imports and, without any kind of control, obtain dollars from the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) at the official exchange rate and then liquidate those currencies through financial dollars, via stock brokers.
The main novelty that this operation presents is that no merchandise ever entered the country, and that it is estimated that the The BCRA allocated – on a floor – more than US$325 million to transfer foreign currency to firms that had been created for this purpose, without employees, without activity related to foreign trade, and presided over by homeless people, retirees or people in a state of vulnerability, as confirmed Ambit from research sources.
