Videos of dollar bills could implicate Jesica Cirio and Martín Insaurralde in corruption probe

A new chapter has unfolded in the investigation into Jesica Cirio and Martín Insaurralde for alleged illicit enrichment and money laundering, following the release of seven videos. The footage, reportedly filmed by Cirio herself in 2023, shows her in a man's dressing room surrounded by bags filled with US dollars. The videos were allegedly taken in the couple's former home in the private neighborhood of Fincas de San Vicente, Buenos Aires province, a year after their separation and the year their divorce was finalized.

Insaurralde, a former mayor of Lomas de Zamora and chief of staff for Buenos Aires province, and Cirio were married in 2014 and separated in 2022. The current scandal follows the "yategate" incident, where Insaurralde was photographed with Sofía Clerici on a luxury yacht in Marbella, which triggered the investigation into the former couple's finances.

Responding to the video release via social media, Cirio stated that "third parties" accessed her files without consent, calling it a "violation of storage media." She alleged that she has been the target of extortion attempts for over a year, including threats to release intimate and private images. Cirio has informed the justice system about these coercion attempts, leading to a case titled "CIRIO, Jessica s/d extorsión" being opened by the Prosecutor's Office No. 58 in Buenos Aires. She asserted that her income, earned since she began working at age 18 in the private sector, has always been declared to tax authorities.
