Gualeguaychú industrial pollution investigation

Overview

A Federal Court in Gualeguaychú ordered the preventive closure of the effluent treatment plant at the Gualeguaychú Industrial Park. This legal action follows investigations into allegations that industrial waste was discharged into the Gualeguaychú River without sufficient treatment.

The court determined that environmental contamination had been proven, necessitating the closure to mitigate risks to human health and the environment. The plant must remain closed until it demonstrates compliance with environmental regulations. Additionally, the court mandated periodic inspections by the Entre Ríos Secretariat of Environment and the Argentine Federal Police's Environmental Crimes Department. Legal proceedings have been initiated against former leaders of the Development Corporation, including George Thomas Fogg, Ernesto Ferrari, and Sergio Ramírez.
