Justice carried out several raids within the framework of an investigation that involves the addresses of an organization that operated under the name of an exchange house that no longer exists.
Within the framework of the actions that the Government has been carrying out to combat exchange speculation, the federal Justice, with the support of the Central Bank (BCRA), this Thursday carried out four raids on homes (three from the province of Mendoza and one in Rosario, Santa Fe) belonging to a former exchange house that was deregistered in November 2020.
The cause originated from an investigation that the BCRA took to federal court number 3 of Mendozaled by Marcelo Fabián Garnica, and made it possible to dismantle the organization that managed caves dedicated to the illegal currency exchange (blue dollar), which had offices in the cities of Mendoza, Guaymallén, Godoy and Cruz and in Rosario.
They operated under the façade of the Bamensa company, which had started operating in Mendoza in August 2018 and operated until 2020 as an exchange house, although it later continued as a bill collection center. It was also based in Rosario, as can be seen from what was reported.

Details of the raids
At the location in the capital of Mendoza, justice officials found a backpack full of securities (dollars, euros and reais) hidden inside the toilet backpack. In Rosario, where federal judge Marcelo Martin Bailaque intervened, a safe deposit box found inside the premises was opened, where valuables and valuable documentation for the investigation of the case were seized.
Furthermore, it was reported kidnapping of around $40 million and the equivalent of $800,000 in various currencies:
- $39.2 million,
- US$727,000
- 45,000 euros
- 32,000 reais
- 1.5 million Chilean pesos.
The illegal and illegal blue dollar buying and selling is penalized by the Foreign Exchange Criminal Law, which punishes those who commit that offense. The person who initiates the summary is the BCRA but the sentence is then handed down by an economic criminal judge. Thus, the first is in charge of collecting evidence and then sends everything to the second to issue a sentence within the framework of a criminal case for false statements in exchange operations without authorization to do so.
