A Florida-based broker, Federico Andres Machado, the fourth defendant in the indictment involving Wright Brothers Aircraft Title and Aircraft Guaranty Corporation, has been detained by Argentine airport security police at Presidente Perón International Airport, Neuquén. Machado, who was indicted by the US Justice department on February 24th, had been attempting to board a flight to Buenos Aires when he was detained by police at Interpol’s request.
Machado was born in Viedma, a city on the Rio Negro river, Argentina but settled in Florida, reportedly establishing himself as a Fort Lauderdale-based broker. Machado reportedly owns two dedicated aviation companies in the state of Florida, South Aviation and Pampa Aircraft Financing.
