Meanwhile, in the judicial sphere, prosecutor Deny Pak of the Specialized Unit for the Fight against Drug Trafficking filed formal charges against Gianina García Troche, partner of alleged Uruguayan drug kingpin Sebastián Marset, and requested that the case be sent to oral and public trial.
The charges describe García Troche as an active and essential piece in the money-laundering scheme of the criminal organization led by Marset and Miguel Ángel Insfrán, known as “Tío Rico.” The prosecution’s theory holds that she was a direct beneficiary of illicit profits from international cocaine trafficking and took part in injecting those funds into the national financial system.
The document was delivered to criminal guarantees judge for organized crime, Rosarito Montanía, who must now review the request and schedule the preliminary hearing.
Investigations indicate that García Troche used the illegal money to maintain a high standard of living, invest in a football club, open companies and acquire luxury goods. The central pillar of the laundering structure attributed to her was the incorporation of Grupo San Jorge SA, which operated under the trade name “Total Cars.” The defendant held 75% of the shares and served as the company’s president.
Prosecutors maintain that the firm was created for the sole purpose of introducing drug-trafficking money into the legal financial circuit, serving as a front to simulate legitimate commercial operations and justify the multimillion-dollar financial movements of Marset’s inner circle.
