The armed coup of 240 thousand dollars, which in national currency is 118 million pesos, continues to raise questions. Now around the victim and his brother, two investors with a shady past due to another police act. One of them was the one who in 2022 reported an alleged assault at his premises in the San Juan Capital and later it was discovered that he had been “squeezed” by two of his creditors as a result of a large sum of money that he owed.
Police investigators and the Judge Mabel Moyaof the Second Investigating Court, have their doubts and try to put together the puzzle around the assault that he denounced Eber Elias Shoe Thursday June 29 last.
The version is that that night, around 9:00 p.m., he left his home in the capital with the idea of meeting a certain Ferrer in Pocito so that he might exchange the foreign currency for pesos to pay some employees, according to sources in the case.
His brother Martin Esequiel Zapata He was also supposed to go with him, but he was late and told him to go, that he would catch up with him later, they explained. That’s why Eber was alone. According to his complaint, he was traveling along 9th street and before reaching Joaquín Uñac street -or Mendoza- he was ambushed by unknown persons aboard two vehicles. According to him, they pointed a gun at him and stole those 240,000 dollars, which at the current exchange rate is 118 million pesos, a police chief commented.

The car. This was the car hijacked during the confusing episode on February 8, 2022.
The Police are baffled because all they have for now is your complaint. The investigators cannot explain how she was alone with so much money and without any type of security. Another point that makes them noisy is the time and place, a rural area. In fact, there are no witnesses and where the assault supposedly took place there are no security cameras. Neither might he justify where that important sum of money came from or did not show anything that certifies the existence of that amount at the time of the robbery, an official said.
The victim told the police that he and his brother Martín have been partners and investors in the Denver firm for years, who are dedicated to buying and selling property and vehicles. There arose another revealing fact for the researchers. Martín Esequiel Zapata is the same person who, on February 8, 2022, denounced an assault at his financial institution on Avenida Ignacio de La Roza, near Spain, and was later designated as an alleged fraudster.
That episode, which occurred on the night of February 8, 2022, began as an alleged armed robbery. That was what Martín Esequiel Zapata said, who ran out of his premises and sought the help of some uniformed men who were roaming the area. He told them that two men and an older woman had just pointed a gun at him and hit him. He also denounced that these people stole a bag with 150 dollars, 21,000 pesos and seven promissory notes of $2,000 each, and that they later fled down España street.

The car. The investor who was assaulted last Thursday in Pocito was mobilizing in this car.
In those minutes, on Miter street, the policemen caught the alleged thieves: the brothers Juan Gabriel and Osvaldo Guillermo Muerza Figueroa, from whom they kidnapped a large-caliber pistol and the car in which they were traveling. However, when the uniformed officers interviewed them, they gave a completely different version to that of Martín Zapata.
The Muerza Figueroas affirmed to the police, and they ratified it in the Justice, that there was no robbery, that in reality they went to demand that the Zapatas return the $4,000 that they gave them to invest in cryptocurrencies. Moreover, they showed a contract signed with the investor and his signature called -at that time- “Boppers” at the end of 2021.
What the Muerza Figueroas assured was that they delivered those dollars to the Zapatas, with the promise that they would receive juicy profits from the interest on the capital invested. According to them, they never complied, since the months passed and they did not see any profit and they might not recover the dollars invested.
The case for the alleged “squeezing” of Zapata was investigated by Flagráncia, but then it went to the Third Investigating Court, where the Muerza Figueroa brothers were benefited with the lack of merit. At that time, the lawyers Omar Quiroga and Horacio Merino said publicly that they were going to denounce the Zapatas for fraud and economic crime. However, everything cooled down, but now with the new episode that the Zapatas lived through, the victims of 2022 would be thinking of taking action once morest them.
