Aldo Ducler exposed the billion-dollar YPF fraud. Within 48 hours, he was dead. His son now fights for truth and justice worldwide
On June 1, 2017, Aldo Ducler, 75 years old and in good health, became the victim of a covert operation in downtown Buenos Aires. After collecting a check at Arpenta and depositing it at Banco Ciudad, he was intercepted on Sarmiento Street by agents who sprayed his face with a delayed-action substance. He collapsed a few meters ahead, still conscious and observed by witnesses, but what followed was a series of irregular events: three ambulances intervened—two from a private company linked to intelligence services and one from the public SAME—with unjustified delays, blocked communications, and the unexplained presence of an unidentified individual inside the vehicle. The transfer to Argerich Hospital was suspiciously slow, and medical records contained serious contradictions regarding the official time of death. The entire operation—cold, planned, and politically covered—was staged as a heart attack, while key evidence was ignored or suppressed by the judiciary
📌 The Ducler Case – Key Facts
👉 Who
Aldo Ducler — Argentine financier, former government advisor, and whistleblower
Juan Manuel Ducler — his son, direct witness and international whistleblower, carrying forward the case
👉 What
Exposure of a $16 billion fraud involving YPF, Grupo Petersen, and Burford Capital
The scheme was possible only through the complicity of major U.S. banks, directly harming thousands of American investors via YPF’s listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
👉 When
May 30, 2017 → Aldo filed his report with Argentina’s Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF)
June 1, 2017 → Within 48 hours, Aldo Ducler was dead under suspicious circumstances
June 2, 2017 → Juan Manuel Ducler presented himself as a whistleblower before the UIF — but his denunciation was blocked and silenced, a criminal act that enabled the cover-up
👉 Why It Matters
Aldo’s assassination silenced the key witness and directly enabled Burford Capital’s $16B lawsuit in the U.S. (SDNY) against Argentina
Blocking Juan Manuel’s denunciation at the UIF compounded the crime, guaranteeing impunity
The case reveals how Wall Street banks facilitated the fraud, causing massive losses for U.S. investors — placing the crime firmly under U.S. jurisdiction
