Ex-Mayor Insaurralde Seeks to Disqualify Dollar Videos as Evidence

Martín Insaurralde, the former mayor of Lomas de Zamora, is seeking to exclude video evidence showing his ex-wife, Jésica Cirio, with stacks of U.S. dollars from an illicit enrichment and money laundering investigation. Insaurralde's legal team has formally requested that the judiciary disregard these videos as proof in the ongoing case.

Cirio's defense has echoed this sentiment, presenting a similar argument that the videos are inadmissible. They contend that the footage may have been altered, cut, or edited, and that the exact time and location of its recording cannot be definitively established. A producer involved in the case reportedly testified that the video had an "extortionate background."

Adding complexity, Cirio had previously reported being extorted in 2025 over images that invaded her privacy, though she did not mention dollars at the time. Separately, Insaurralde has been reportedly seen frequenting an office in Buenos Aires' microcentro. While a judge rejected a request for the detention of both Insaurralde and Cirio, travel restrictions have been imposed on them and several other individuals linked to the case.
