According to federal prosecutor Juan Argibay Molina, of the Procuration of Money laundering (PROCELAC), the cause open in 2019 against the entrepreneur was an extortion plan coordinated by Vaudagna and Boilaque himself to charge church bribes.
In his statement last March 19 in the PORTEÑA DE LA PROCELAC headquarterswhere it was formalized that it would be accused collaborator, Vaudagna He promptly referred to the roles that the group fulfilled to shape the maneuver. He said that the plot took place six years ago at a meeting in El Quincho where the Judge Dance. There was also Rosarino financier Fernando Whpei who was raided ten days ago and was affected by the Fiscal investigation.

On April 10, Iglesias declared a witness in the Cause open by extortion against Dance and Vaudagna. What he said produced a branch that for prosecutors deepens the evidence about blackmail. He argued that extortion against him existedthat sowed false evidence to involve him and that the mediator to negotiate to avoid a cause in exchange for a bribe was Fernando Whpei.
The testimony of Churches It generated a turn in a cause in which he ended up prosecuted, a month ago, for money laundering, since the presumption that they were completed with arbitrary AFIP reportsrigged or false. In this line, the Vaudagna’s signaling about the presence of Mauricio Maronnaa prestigious journalist, in the house of Bailaque the day that the alleged extortion was carried out only appears in the testimony of the former hierarchy of the AFIP, but he himself in a stretch of his statement takes off. There is nothing that indicates anything aggravating for the memory of the journalist, who, like other colleagues, frequented Judge Bailaque’s house. This is because he was a person who had a fluid relationship with many chroniclers, to whom He received in his home.
