The case was turned over to the Federal Court of Oberá, in Misiones, which has already begun the investigation. The driver and owner of the powerful truck, patent AF053PW, was identified as Antonio Gabriel Erceg Vera, 40 years old, and a native of Las Breñas, Chaco.

The gold was found in the glove compartment of the pickup, with the Rodhio brand printed on it, of Argentine origin.
