They called for the international capture of Hector Yrimia, former judge and “legal director” of Generation Zoe

While the leader Leonardo Cositorto remains at large and calls for resistance with new tricks in videos from a beach, the case against him investigating the Cordoba Justice for illicit association and defrauding savers in Villa María adds increasingly sordid elements.

This morning, prosecutor Juliana Companys - who called for the capture of the leader and his number 2 also fugitive, “Max” Batista - also called for the capture of former judge Hector Yrimia, heavily involved with the group and recently exposed by a video revealed on social networks.

Yrimia, who was a federal prosecutor and later an investigating magistrate, introduced himself as the “legal director” of the conglomerate of firms today suspected of running a massive Ponzi scheme. The Federal Police raided with the Anti-Mafia Investigations Department of the Superintendency of Federal Investigations their law firm, as well as the house of Batista's daughter and the accounting study of the already detained Norman Prospero, in charge of the group's numbers, according to sources from the Cordovan Public Prosecutor's Office confirmed to Infobae. During the operations, documentation of interest to the file was hijacked. The participation of the former magistrate, or what alleged role he played in the unlawful association and what he is charged with, is a fact that the Justice keeps in reserve at this time.

In the house of Batista's daughter, dollars, five computers, a dozen cell phones and a Mercedes Benz that owes more than 15,000 pesos in fines in Buenos Aires territory were hijacked.

Meanwhile, there are already more than a dozen detainees in the Companys cause, including the ontological coaches who became Zoe's bosses in Córdoba. Claudio Javier Álvarez, his mother Silvia Fermani, his sister Ivana Álvarez and his brother-in-law Silvio Schamne, the family that led Generation Zoe in Cordoba, surrendered to Justice on March 4. After several weeks of fugitives, judicial sources confirmed to Infobae that the four appeared at the Carlos Paz Judicial Unit and remained at the disposal of the prosecutor.

Villa María is not a missing point on the organization's map: it was Zoe's second strongest focus in the country, after her office in Belgrano, closed today after a day of chaos with savers rallying to get her money.

In Villa María, Zoe had set up a cell with a local street where at least 35 operators worked dedicated to attracting investors and taking their money under fabulous promises of interest of up to 20 percent. Claudio Álvarez went on to found a real estate company and owned two BMWs.
