The Financial Information Unit (UIF) requested the seizure and confiscation of assets and the immediate arrest of the “Croat” Ivo Rojnica in the case in which they are investigated alleged irregular maneuvers in currency management, according to official sources.

“It uses insolvent people with social plans to buy dollars with the solidarity dollar quota of US$200 per month and they then resell it in the blue”, sources linked to the investigation informed this medium. They added that “The Central Bank initiated a summary to suspend it on Monday.”
The Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, had promised that during these days there would be progress in investigations and raids to disrupt a network of exchange agents operating in the illegal market. As a result of this scenario and as a result of the financial uncertainty, the parallel market of the dollar is virtually paralyzed.
Justice now points to an additional line of investigation. Judicial officials seek to know if the network of companies and links for exchange operations of the “cave” that he commanded had as their objective a more sophisticated maneuver that took advantage of the gap: over-invoicing of imports and under-invoicing of exports. Both operations made it possible to have a difference at the official exchange rate of the BCRA, whose purpose was to apply it to various undertakings. It is being investigated whether Rojnica was not the necessary link so that the companies that carried out this practice could repatriate the funds and distance their origin.
