A financial operator under investigation in a case involving illegal foreign exchange dealings, known as the “SIRA” case, has provided detailed allegations linking former government officials and currency traders to a scheme operating during Argentina’s currency controls. Francisco Hauque claims the scheme generated substantial profits through illicit transactions. He further alleges that President Alberto Fernández was fully aware of these operations, citing evidence including documented movements, withdrawals, and falsified paperwork now part of the case file. Hauque’s testimony suggests a coordinated effort to manipulate currency exchange rates for personal gain. The investigation centers on irregularities in accessing US dollars during a period of strict capital controls implemented to stabilize the Argentine economy. This development marks a significant escalation in the probe, potentially implicating high-ranking officials in financial misconduct. Further investigation is underway to verify Hauque’s claims and determine the full extent of the alleged scheme.
