This Monday, the Government resumed raids on caves to combat the buying and selling of the blue dollar. AFIP and Federal Police carried out operations in Tigre.
Agents from the Federal Administration of Public Revenue (AFIP) and the Federal Police carried out a series of raids this Monday in “caves” in Nordeltain the Tigre party, in order to hinder operations with the blue dollar, which once again exceeded $1,000.
The procedures were carried out in the town of Rincón de Milberg and are the first to be carried out after the presidential elections this Sunday, October 22.
The raids against the “caves” have been repeated for fifteen days, when the parallel dollar crossed the $1,000 barrier. After these measures, it fell to $900 and remained at that value until last Friday.
Blue dollar: raids reaffirm controls policy
These new operations seek to give more signals in line with what the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, indicated, who anticipated that they would continue taking actions against “criminals who, in the situation of uncertainty, generate profits against the savings of Argentines.”
The procedures seek to identify clandestine currency exchange points, with the objective of stop operations in the informal currency market amid tension over the rise of the US dollar.
The highest amount was recorded in an operation in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Belgrano, where US$700,000 was seized; while another US$100,000 was seized in the heart of the downtown area.
