Judicial inquiries target government transparency and road fund management in Uruguay and Argentina

In Uruguay, the Executive Branch has submitted required documentation to the Administrative Litigation Court regarding the arbitration case involving Francisco Cardama S.A. The provided materials include the arbitration claim, annexes, and documentary evidence. While the government previously maintained certain documents under reserve to protect legal strategies and economic interests, the documentation has now been made available to the judicial instance.

In Argentina, Judge Lijo has ordered the Ministry of Economy to provide detailed reports on the use of the SisVial trust fund, which is financed by liquid fuel taxes for road maintenance. The court requested information regarding financial placements, budget execution for specific projects on National Routes 5 and 3, and details on works in La Rioja province. The investigation seeks to clarify how funds from the Integrated Road System have been applied since January 1, 2024.
