After weeks of speculation and heated discussions within the poker community, Nacho Barbero has been officially cleared of all cheating allegations. The internal investigation conducted by the platform where he competed found no evidence that the Argentine player had used Real-Time Assistance (RTA) in his online games.

✅ No irregularities were found in his strategic decisions.
✅ His gameplay history showed no signs of external assistance.
✅ No suspicious activity was detected in his account.
💬 Barbero’s Statement:
"I have always played fair and trust my skills. I’m glad this has been clarified."
The investigation reinforces the credibility of security processes in online poker and highlights the importance of not making accusations without solid evidence.
