Legal proceedings are underway in Paraná, Argentina, regarding allegations of illicit enrichment against former Entre Ríos governor Sergio Urribarri and businessman Diego Armando Cardona Herreros. Prosecutors allege that Urribarri cannot justify a $7 million increase in his assets and have requested a prison sentence of 5 years and 6 months. 

While a third defendant, Rubén Ángel Martínez, previously reached a probation agreement and an abbreviated trial after admitting to charges, the case against Urribarri and Cardona Herreros continues. During recent evidence hearings, the defense contested the evidentiary value of documentation presented by prosecutors and requested new accounting audits by experts from the Superior Court of Justice. Judge Mariano Budasoff has adjourned the proceedings to decide if the case will proceed to an oral and public trial or if the requested forensic expertise will be granted.
