Argentina ex-lawmaker Espert charged with money laundering, travel ban imposed

Argentine former deputy José Luis Espert faces money laundering charges over a $200,000 payment from Fred Machado, a U.S.-convicted fraudster. The travel ban signals active judicial proceedings, though the case is at an early stage and Espert's defense is not yet detailed. This adds to political-legal scrutiny in Argentina but has no direct market impact.
