Numerologist Verónica Asad, known as Pitty, is under judicial investigation for allegedly exploiting vulnerable individuals for personal gain, following a ruling by the Supreme Court of Justice in Argentina.
Verónica Asad, popularly known as Pitty, the numerologist, is the subject of a judicial investigation concerning allegations that she manipulated vulnerable individuals to deprive them of their assets. The accusations against her have prompted the Supreme Court of Justice of Argentina to determine that the case be handled by ordinary criminal courts, a decision that introduces major legal scrutiny into her practices. This case highlights concerns over potential exploitation within alternative spiritual practices, particularly aimed at marginalized populations.
The Supreme Court intervened in the matter to resolve a jurisdictional dispute regarding which court should oversee the proceedings. The case was originally contested between the National Criminal and Correctional Court 11 and the Federal Criminal and Correctional Court 9, indicating a complex legal landscape governing issues of consumer protection and criminal justice in Argentina. The involvement of the Supreme Court elevates the profile of this investigation, as it symbolizes an assertion of judicial authority in matters involving potential fraud against individuals perceived as vulnerable.
If found guilty, Asad could face significant legal repercussions, and this case may set a precedent for how similar allegations against individuals in alternative practices are treated in the future. This situation raises broader societal questions regarding the responsibilities of practitioners in the realm of numerology and similar fields, particularly in ensuring that clients are not exploited due to their vulnerable circumstances.
