Behind the walls of the affluent Buenos Aires suburb, investigators discovered a private heliport, stables housing Arabian thoroughbreds, and a climate-controlled garage sheltering fifty-four vehicles: Ferraris, Porsches, an Audi R8, and a collection of vintage automobiles.

This all began with Twitter accusation by retired star striker Carlos Tevez.
