Last Monday, December 20, a possible new case of a pyramid scheme went viral on Twitter. The head of the scheme would be the cattle rancher Luis Arza, who swindled dozens of individuals and legal entities with great purchasing power.
The proposal of the businessman through his firm Arfe SA to investors was a percentage of 24% of what they invested annually.
According to an unofficial list of victims, one of the main scammers was Ramón González Daher, who gave Arza US $ 10 million. On Wednesday, audios of the former sports leader began to be released speaking with the one who would be the businessman’s wife and also the administrator of the firm Arfe SA, which was the one that captured the investments.
AUDIO ONE
In the first audio, viralized by CN9, Ramón González Daher is heard demanding the whereabouts of the cattleman, who has been on the run for several days. The conversation was on December 18.
RGD: “What happened to Luis? Do you know the fortune that that boy took from me? Where are you walking? He does not take care of me either, he did not leave me a guarantee pin ”.
The woman: “I haven’t talked to him for a long time. He is scared because you had threatened to kill him ”.
RGD: “I do not wish anyone death, not even that they go to prison, because I was already there. US $ 10 million took from me ”.
The woman: “He (Arza) was very touched by what you told him. I did not negotiate with you, I do not know how much it took.
RGD: “Tell him to contact me or to come here at my house. We are going to talk and we are going to fix it ”.
AUDIO TWO
In the second audio, Luis Arza talks to a man named Marcelo, who would be his brother-in-law. In the audio, he implies that his wife (the woman who spoke with RGD) took her own life after the pressure she was receiving from González Daher.
Arza: “I need to do justice, I need to declare that Ramón González Daher threatened to kill both of us. She got desperate and did this. When she found out that he threatened to kill me, she fell into a panic like me and no longer wanted to know anything about all the loan sharks who were charging us. I did not know that I owed that tyrant, that terrible, I need to declare that. I will do justice. I can’t believe this happened. “
Marcelo: “Yes, Luis, he was very afraid that something would happen to you and he couldn’t bear it. I’m going to the memorial to see my dear little sister in a drawer. May God have mercy on her. “
ARREGUI
Carlos Arregui, head of the Secretariat for the Prevention of Money or Property Laundering (Seprelad), said that this fraud and money laundering scheme was carried out by Arza with three other people. In addition, he mentioned that he could have moved US $ 70 million.
“Investors should not be ruled out. Those who gambled knowing it was illegal. The 24% interest, yield, is something that is not paid in the financial market. The participation of the people who entered the system cannot be ruled out ”, he mentioned for the same television channel.
