Sergio Urribarri and associates face sentence execution in Entre Ríos

corruption convictions Sergio Urribarri Entre Ríos asset seizure prison transfer

Following the ratification of corruption convictions against former Governor Sergio Urribarri, former minister Pedro Báez, and Juan Pablo Aguilera, legal proceedings regarding their sentencing and asset seizure are advancing in Entre Ríos.

Defense attorneys for the three individuals have accepted the calculated sentence durations and waived their rights to appeal, aiming to expedite the process. Urribarri is expected to serve his eight-year sentence until July 2034, while Báez and Aguilera face terms ending in 2031 and 2033, respectively. Due to their advanced age and the high population density at the Paraná Penal Unit No. 1, the penitentiary service has proposed transferring the group to a specialized elderly inmate pavilion at the Gualeguaychú Penal Unit No. 9.

Simultaneously, the provincial Executive branch, led by Governor Rogelio Frigerio, will determine the final destination of assets seized through the corruption case. The State Prosecutor's Office is working with the government to manage the recovery of property and funds linked to the illegal use of state resources for political campaigning.
