On August 29, the Argentine Tax Authorities ("AFIP") filed a lawsuit for tax data breach and fraud due to the disclosure of information of some important taxpayers. Precisely, on August 27, Página 12, an Argentine newspaper, published information about taxpayers who have adhered to the tax amnesty regime.
