corruption convictions Sergio Urribarri Entre Ríos prison transfer Megajuicio

Following the Supreme Court of the Nation's rejection of their extraordinary appeal, former Entre Ríos Governor Sergio Urribarri, former minister Pedro Báez, and Juan Pablo Aguilera have been transferred to the El Potrero Penal Unit in Gualeguaychú to serve their corruption convictions.

Urribarri is serving an eight-year sentence, while Báez and Aguilera are serving six years and six months each. The transfer follows a period of legal appeals regarding the 2022 sentences related to a major corruption case involving fraudulent contracts.

In a related legal development, the judiciary in Entre Ríos has requested the extradition of Alejandro Luis José Almada from Misiones. Almada, a former employee of the Chamber of Deputies and brother-in-law to Juan Pablo Aguilera, faces charges in the same corruption investigation. Prosecutors are seeking a 10-year prison sentence for Almada.
