U.S. justice has detected a new bank account for the firm TourProdEnter, attributed to Javier Faroni and his wife Erica Gillette, where income linked to the AFA abroad would have been concentrated. According to what was learned by the Argentine News Agency, this is an account opened in May 2024 at PNC Bank, which recorded movements of over $13 million and from which more than $3 million would have been diverted to five companies based in Miami with no known commercial activity. The measure is part of the discovery process underway in the Delaware Court under case file "Case No. 1:25-cv-01217-RGA", initiated after a presentation by the lawyers of businessman Guillermo Tofoni, where four other accounts in the United States had already been identified. According to the records incorporated into the file, Faroni is listed as the "owner" of the account and Gillette as the "manager". With the new movements detected—$3,171,800 more—the total amount approaches $55 million and could continue to increase as the judicial process advances. Most of the funds credited to the PNC Bank account came from other TourProdEnter accounts opened at Bank of America, Synovus, Citibank, and JP Morgan. Among the outgoing transfers detected are transfers to the firms Soagu, Marmasch, Velpasalt, Delker, and Mafer, all incorporated in Miami and identified as "shell" companies. Two of them—Soagu Services and Marmasch—had previously received $10.8 million and $13.4 million respectively, to which are now added $764,000 and $1,107,500 more between June and November 2024. Velpasalt LLC, created by a Bariloche tour operator, would have received $14.7 million in previous operations and another $273,000 in June 2024. To this are added $3,705,300 sent from other TourProdEnter accounts, raising the total attributed to $4,380,300. Additionally, Delker received ten transfers from Bank of America, a $202,000 transfer from JP Morgan on July 5, 2024, and successive payments from City on April 1, 2, 3, and 4 of that year for a total of $560,000. The firm declared its domicile at 8333 NW 53 Street, in Doral, Miami, under a "virtual office" modality. The fifth company detected at PNC Bank is Mafer Trading LLC, which had already received $1,345,000 from other accounts and now adds another $252,500. According to the documentation, Mafer Trading was registered by a person identified as Matías E. Fernández, whose initials match the firm's name (“Ma” for Matías and “Fer” for Fernández), a pattern similar to that detected in Marmasch, linked to Mariela Marisa Schmalz. In previous records, the firm W Trading also emerged, where Matías Esteban Fernández, 45, appears with a history as a municipal employee in Lanús and registered as a monotributista. To justify the transfers with AFA funds, the company TourProdEnter presents itself as linked to the textile industry. However, the judicial investigation maintains that it would have functioned as a structure to channel and divert AFA funds. The appearance of Mafer Trading completes a network of nine LLCs created in three addresses in Miami, which would have received $51.4 million corresponding to AFA funds. The three companies linked to that city used Registered Agents Inc, based in Wyoming, as their registered agent and were closed on December 30, two days after the scandal broke. Another of the firms singled out is Delker INC, which shows transfers of $675,000 from the PNC Bank account, in three transfers of $195,000, $347,000, and $133,000.
