A criminal case was also opened against Eduardo Jaén Roy, Ariana Jaén Roy de Barletta, children of the former director of the AIG, and his wife Aracelli María Roy de Jaén.

The decision was made by the First Settlement Court for Criminal Cases through the summons to trial on July 10, 2023, after determining that the crime investigated by the Public Ministry "is duly accredited by carrying out various operations in the financial system with characteristics typical of the crime of money laundering, in order to obtain that the illicit funds maintain a disguise of legitimacy" is indicated in the information that has been released by the Judicial Branch.

The court, also set a trial date for April 1, 2024, at 9:00 in the morning and an alternate date for April 29.
