Legal proceedings have progressed in two separate criminal cases in Argentina. In Mendoza, Gustavo Fernando Olguín was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his 84-year-old father, Hugo Olguín. Olguín had initially attempted to claim the death was a medical accident, but investigators used forensic evidence and security footage to confirm the crime.

In San Luis, a court has moved the case against Julio Daniel Lescano to trial following an armed robbery in Cortaderas that resulted in the death of Chief Officer Renato Mauricio Fuentes. The prosecution is seeking a life sentence for Lescano, who is accused of participating in a home invasion that led to an armed confrontation with police.
