The case involves Fiscal Georgina Pairola and ex-partner Ornella Dipietri, who were linked to the network. The article emphasizes the complexity of tracking these financial flows and notes that while this method is well-established in Mexico and Brazil, Argentina has yet to fully address or investigate it.
