Legal proceedings regarding serious criminal convictions have continued in Argentina. In one instance, César Roberto Cepeda is appealing a 14-year prison sentence for the sexual abuse of two minors in Lucas González, with his defense challenging the legitimacy of his preventive detention. Separately, the Supreme Court of Justice of Argentina upheld a 15-year prison sentence against Jorge Daniel Barceló, an officer of the Argentine Naval Prefecture. Barceló was convicted of sexual, labor, and psychological abuse against a subordinate in Misiones between 2020 and 2022. The court dismissed the defense's appeal, following testimony that the victim faced professional sanctions and harassment after rejecting the officer's advances. In Salta, a federal court has sentenced two pilots to 10 years in prison for smuggling 364 kilograms of cocaine from Bolivia using a small aircraft that crashed in Rosario de la Frontera. Investigators have linked this operation to a branch of the Sinaloa Cartel.
