The attorney submitted a written complaint to the SEC, asking it to verify whether any commissions or payments were made to the Argentine officials responsible for a loss of $1.023 billion in the operation—a detail he shared this evening on the program *Minuto Uno* on the news channel C5N.

The individuals in question include the president of the Central Bank, Santiago Bausili; the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo; the bank’s director and superintendent, Juan Ernesto Curutchet; and Nicolás Marcelo Ferro, an official at the institution.

Dalbon is not seeking a reward, nor is he making any claims against the Argentine State or the Central Bank, which, as sovereign entities, fall outside the SEC’s jurisdiction.

His focus is on the German bank, which is publicly traded on Wall Street. “Following a preliminary inquiry, the Commission might conclude that there is nothing to pursue. My request is simply that they conduct such an inquiry, as they are the only authority capable of doing so,” he stated.

According to the National General Audit Office (AGN), these transactions resulted in a loss of $1.023 billion, which was covered using foreign currency from the nation’s reserves.

The 13-page document, written in English and addressed to the SEC’s Office of the Whistleblower, seeks to determine whether any commissions, fees, or payments were made to Argentine officials—an act that would fall under U.S. laws prohibiting bribery abroad.

To date, neither the leadership of the Central Bank nor the Minister of Economy has clarified the current location of Argentina’s gold. Bausili says Switzerland, but highly reliable sources assert that he is in London. jdt/otf/mh
