The scheme, involving frontmen and firms linked with courtroom circumstances, reveals how the connection was consolidated in parallel with the progress each loved within the company world. Infobae’s protection —presenting companions and firms as administration fashions or know-how leaders— accompanied and justified a part of these operations.

The place to begin was with My Estates I Corp. and My Estates II Corp., Florida-based corporations with a turnover of US$ 10 million. One in all them is within the title of an Infobae worker who lives in Ciudadela, with a month-to-month earnings of some 5 million pesos; but he reveals up as the only director of the corporate which owns Hadad’s most important condominium in Miami: a merger of 4 items within the Continuum constructing, bought in November 2016 for US$ 15.3 million.

This construction additional consists of operations for US$ 10.4 million by Hadad’s sister-in-law, through corporations primarily based in Florida and the British Virgin Islands.

González Kunz was sentenced by choose Marcelo Aguinsky within the investigation over Levy’s dealings in Venezuela, although the Court docket of Appeals revoked the measure and the case remains to be open.

González Kunz —proprietor of Núcleo y Neutrón— was behind the Bendú enterprise advanced in Mar del Plata, opened by Javier Milei in 2024, and, based on Volosin, seeks to maintain the automobile park in Buenos Aires Metropolis. He’s additionally the CEO of Andrómeda Group Latam, which till 2019 was referred to as C3 IG LLC and was a associate of of C3 Consulting S.A., a agency flagged for working unlawful intelligence.

Volosin’s investigation discovered a sample: buying know-how corporations with earlier expertise in tenders, rising their capital, eradicating unique companions and making certain contracts with the State. Infobae’s protection beneficial to the companies and their executives strengthened that technique.

Probably the most seen instance is OCP TECH S.A., an offshoot of SYSTEMNET S.A., bought to Federico Haymes Biedma between 2018 and 2019.
