El exgobernador de Entre Ríos, Urribarri, ha sido detenido y será trasladado a la cárcel tras un fallo que lo condena a más de ocho años de prisión por enriquecimiento ilícito. La orden de detención fue emitida por la Cámara de Casación Entrerriana y ejecutada en la ciudad de Concordia. La fiscal que investigó el caso fue destituida, una acción que se atribuye al poder político provincial vinculado a Urribarri. Su restitución depende ahora de la Corte Suprema.

00:00This happened a few moments ago in the city of Concordia.
00:04The police of Entre Rios, in the event of a failure of the Entrerriana Court of Appeal,
00:12which ordered the arrest of the ex-governor,
00:18took place precisely at this measure.
00:21Effective reiteration of the police of Entre Rios in the city of Concordia.
00:27He will be transferred in a few moments, when justice also disposes of him,
00:33to the prison of the Penal Unit No. 1.
00:39I reiterate, Uri Barri, arrested, will be transferred to prison in a few moments,
00:46on the pretext of a failure that sentenced him to a little more than eight years in prison.
00:49I'll give you a list, let's remember.
00:51Speculation, illicit enrichment, Uri Barri was governor,
00:55I understand that he was then Argentine ambassador to Israel.
00:58During the government of Alberto.
00:59Of course, from there he had to practically return accused by the judicial patents, right?
01:05He had been at a party and said, if they see us, they kill us.
01:08Of course, I remember, I remember.
01:10Cata, what else is there?
01:11We reiterate, they arrested Sergio Uri Barri, former governor of Entre Rios.
01:15The decision, as Javier told you, was taken by the House of Representatives,
01:18which ordered the arrest of the former provincial governor and former ambassador to Israel,
01:24who will be transferred to Penal Unit No. 1 in Paraná.
01:27It is a cause that came almost to the last instance of justice.
01:31Entre Rianas justice proved that it used and disposed illegally public funds
01:39to finance its electoral campaigns, among other maneuvers,
01:43through printing and advertising contracts.
01:47In what state is he?
01:48Well, he was convicted in the first instance,
01:51then that was confirmed in 2023 by the House of Representatives.
01:56And basically, the only thing left for Uri Barri, who already did it,
01:59was to appeal before the Supreme Court.
02:01It is the last thing he lacks, it is the last instance,
02:04because he has already made a very long journey of justice
02:07and then proved this corruption maneuver.
02:10Now, let us also remember that for this cause, which was a total scandal,
02:14the prosecutor who carried out all this investigation for corruption,
02:18Cecilia Goyeneche, was dismissed.
02:21She was dismissed, and she is waiting to see if the Supreme Court
02:25at some point restitutes the charge to her.
02:27A document in the air, Cata, we reiterate, exclusive information.
02:30What you are going to see now is the judicial document,
02:34which is the arrest warrant.
02:38Look up there, immediate arrest of Sergio Daniel Uri Barri.
02:42There are obviously his data.
02:44It is a case, a file number 2220-24,
02:51and there is the criminal record and all the defendants, Javi.
02:56This is the document with which the police knocked on the door
03:00in Concordia to Uri Barri.
03:02They call an ambulance in the vicinity of the house where Uri Barri is.
03:06We have to see if he hasn't decomposed or what's going on.
03:09We are finishing the check.
03:10Sometimes it is preventive, also for the family.
03:12We reiterate, the police of Entre Ríos
03:15went to the house on Garat Street,
03:18there in Concordia, where Uri Barri lives.
03:22He no longer lives there, now he is going to live in jail.
03:25To take him as a detainee.
03:28This is on purpose,
03:30what we were telling you, the Inter-Riana Hunting Chamber,
03:34which ordered the immediate arrest, arrest warrant.
03:37Usually an arrest warrant is made because it is a search.
03:40Then it will be determined whether he is a fugitive or not.
03:44Look, there they have the ambulance at the door of the house.
03:47As Javi says, possibly there is a preventive issue.
03:51Concordia Ambulances,
03:55the company that they put there at the door of the house
03:59of the former governor of Entre Ríos, Sergio Uri Barri.
04:06He is in detention.
04:08This is the moment when they are going to take him to jail,
04:11the former governor and former ambassador,
04:14for the crimes of peculation
04:16and the crime of fraudulent administration,
04:20sorry, of illicit enrichment.
04:22And he goes to jail, huh?
04:23And yes, he goes to jail, he goes to jail.
04:25He only has this appeal that the Supreme Court has,
04:29which we know has no deadlines.
04:31But then he got to the confirmed marriage last year,
04:34which is quite complicated, the situation of Uri Barri,
04:37who also did everything to try to prevent him from being investigated.
04:42Because he separated the prosecutor who promoted all this investigation,
04:46Cecilia Goyeneche, who is out of office today,
04:48who is waiting to see if his work is returned to the prosecution,
04:52to see if the Supreme Court returns his work
04:55for having investigated precisely the corruption
04:57during, where there was a powerful, right?
05:00Juan Pablo Varela is the other detainee
05:03who was arrested in the city of Paraná
05:07and is already in jail.
05:08He has already been transferred because the jail,
05:10Unit 1, is there in Paraná.
05:12He has already been transferred and is already inside
05:14or under the protection of the Inter-Regional Penitentiary Service.
05:18The same will happen in moments
05:20with the transfer of Sergio Uri Barri
05:23to the jail also in Paraná.
05:25I don't know if he's going to share a cell with Varela or not,
05:28but the truth is that they will be in the same prison unit.
05:34An important fact, because I don't remember
05:36that there has been another governor or ex-governor
05:40arrested with these characteristics, right?
05:43Menem had been a governor,
05:44but he had later been president, right?
05:47When he was arrested on that occasion.
05:49No, and that he also detained power
05:51because he had this position in the previous government
05:54of Alberto and Cristina until very recently.
05:56And that power, well, the justice system at some point
05:59thought it was hindering the investigation
06:01because it is basically affecting those who have to investigate it.
06:04Other convicts for this cause
06:06were the former Minister of Culture and Communication
06:09of the province, Pedro Baez,
06:11and the former legislative official, Juan Pablo Aguilera,
06:14both to six years in prison
06:16and the inability to exercise public office.
06:19Another of the convicts.
06:20They also charge him a fine of 20 million pesos,
06:25which, a priori, seems to be little money.
06:29They are also, obviously,
06:31taking into account the sentence that we are reading.
06:34We are processing practically live.
06:36We reiterate, Sergio Urribarri was arrested.
06:39He is the former governor of the province of Entre Ríos.
06:42Now, in a few minutes, we will have the chance
06:44to communicate with one of the,
06:47for me, one of the best journalists
06:49in the entire coastal area,
06:50which is my dear friend Daniel Enns,
06:52who has investigated this story very closely.
06:55Give me the last moment, come on.
07:04We reiterate, Sergio Urribarri was arrested.
07:07I will contact Daniel Enns,
07:08a dear friend of many years,
07:11who is a journalist who has investigated a lot
07:13and who also denounced part of this story.
07:15Daniel Facundo Pastor on A24.
07:17How are you?
07:18Hi, Facu. How are you?
07:20Good. Tell us, Daniel,
07:21Tell us, Daniel, let's see.
07:23You are a Uribarri denouncer.
07:25Did you investigate a lot of this story?
07:27Yes, yes, the denunciations are ours, yes, yes.
07:29Tell us what he is accused of.
07:31Several.
07:33What is he accused of?
07:35There are several crimes of corruption,
07:37let's say, right?
07:39There are even several causes under investigation,
07:41in addition to this one,
07:43which was a conjunction of other causes,
07:45let's say, right?
07:47But 90% are,
07:49let's say,
07:51denunciations are ours,
07:53from the Analysis magazine,
07:55from the last 10 years, right?
07:5711 years, 12.
07:59What did he do with public funds, Uribarri?
08:01He deviated
08:03for his friends and his pocket,
08:05basically.
08:07And in what way?
08:09There is even a cause of illicit enrichment
08:11that is
08:13to be brought to trial,
08:15where it is indicated that Uribarri
08:17got rich in,
08:19but he could not justify 8 million dollars.
08:21Sure, 8 million dollars.
08:23Yes.
08:25It is the deviation that he did,
08:27in principle, as it would be proven.
08:29The cause of illicit enrichment.
08:31Uribarri is put
08:33under arrest
08:35and is on a trip to
08:37Paraná to be derived
08:39from the Penal Unit No. 1
08:41for the conviction
08:43of the mega-trial of 2022,
08:45where there are a whole series
08:47of facts
08:49that show how
08:51Uribarri and several
08:53of his officials and relatives,
08:55as in the case of Juan Pablo Aguilera,
08:57also arrested, his brother-in-law,
08:59deviated funds
09:01for their own purposes,
09:03let's say, right?
09:05Daniel, I greet you, Cata, from Elía.
09:07I wanted to ask you if you can tell us a little
09:09about the situation today,
09:11Prosecutor Goyeneche, who was removed
09:13precisely for investigating Uribarri.
09:15And he is waiting
09:17for the resolution of the Supreme Court
09:19of Justice of the Nation.
09:21The Attorney General of the Court
09:23in some way
09:25took place,
09:27or gave his opinion,
09:29making way for his proposal
09:31that there was
09:33to be a step back
09:35in the whole process
09:37that led to his dismissal
09:39and had to be reinstated in office.
09:41And now the
09:43Supreme Court is waiting
09:45to see
09:47if the Supreme Court
09:49defines this appeal
09:51that Uribarri made
09:53and what would happen
09:55if they were going to stop him.
09:57The life that the former governor
09:59continued to have was ostentatious,
10:01low profile,
10:03because two years had already passed
10:05from the first instance sentence,
10:07a year from the marriage ratification.
10:09Keep in mind, Cata,
10:11that until recently
10:13he was an ambassador
10:15in Israel.
10:17And when he returned,
10:19he obviously
10:21lowered his profile
10:23and a few months ago
10:25he had to lower it
10:27for a judicial decision
10:29that determined
10:31that Uribarri
10:33could not move from Concordia.
10:35And the same
10:37understood his brother-in-law
10:39or his brother-in-law.
10:41None of them could move.
10:43He could not travel anywhere.
10:45So that also
10:47forced him to
10:49lower his profile,
10:51to disappear politically,
10:53because he came around
10:55doing some talks
10:57from time to time
10:59in some towns in the province.
11:01But it's like he disappeared
11:03from the scene
11:05and nobody was politically
11:07interested in him.
11:09Cristina Fernández
11:11had to wait for the court
11:13to decide if Uribarri
11:15was going to be imprisoned
11:17or not.
11:19Here we see
11:21that the judges
11:23of the Chamber
11:25interpret that there is
11:27a risk of escape.
11:29They understand that there is
11:31a risk of escape
11:33depending on the assets
11:35that Uribarri has.
11:39Now,
11:41remember that Uribarri
11:43was afraid of being
11:45denounced,
11:47but also
11:49he was sure that
11:51nothing was going to happen.
11:53But on the other hand,
11:55in the case of the Peculado,
11:57among other things,
11:59he had made
12:01advertising campaigns
12:03in Mar del Plata.
12:05It's one of the
12:07accusations
12:09that Uribarri had
12:11that he used
12:13funds to
12:15set up
12:17his campaign
12:19for president
12:21from De Vido's hand
12:23back in 2013,
12:252014,
12:27and then he ended up
12:29giving the order to Cristina
12:31not to advance.
12:33Of course.
12:35He used that money,
12:37he used that money
12:39from the province
12:41for his own ends.
12:43And what he did was overpricing,
12:45overvaluing
12:47that campaign.
12:49And he distributed it
12:51among friends.
12:55There is a cause
12:57that is also to be elevated
12:59which is the
13:01Causa de Coimas,
13:03where the main defendant is
13:05his friend, partner,
13:07the Paraguayan businessman
13:09Diego Armando Cardona Herrero,
13:11who came to administer
13:13more than
13:1511 million dollars
13:17for him and his family,
13:19all from
13:21the state.
13:23This was also
13:25our complaint
13:27for 8 or 9 years.
13:29But the court
13:31found that Uri Barri,
13:33for example, with state money
13:35through this businessman
13:39who was also
13:41a businessman
13:43who won
13:45bids with the state,
13:47he paid, for example,
13:49the whole Uri Barri family
13:51the trip to the
13:53World Cup in South Africa,
13:57and it was all
13:59proven, all documented
14:01how Uri Barri's officials
14:03asked
14:05the businessman,
14:07look, for this operation
14:09I want you to deposit me
14:11in such an account,
14:13I want you to buy
14:15such a car from such a brand
14:17as ...
14:19That is all documented.
14:21An incredible thing.
14:23But that was the impunity with which they moved.
14:25Dani, let's say,
14:27he's going to jail.
14:29I don't know if we understand
14:31that there is a jail in Paraná.
14:33He comes to the Penal Unit
14:35where his brother-in-law was already derived.
14:37The issue is that the Penal Unit
14:39of Paraná is collapsed,
14:41let's say, it has capacity
14:43for 1,200
14:45and I think it has 1,900
14:47inmates.
14:49I mean, I think they sleep here tonight,
14:51but tomorrow they will be derived
14:53to the Gualeguaychú jail,
14:55which is the model jail.
14:57Look, there they tell me two things.
14:59One, Aguilera
15:01was already transferred to jail.
15:03But be careful with what he said, because there is no place in Paraná.
15:05I just told you. In the end they don't hear me.
15:07Yes, Dani, of course.
15:09And the other,
15:11I hear you perfectly,
15:13strong and clear.
15:15Aguilera was transferred to jail.
15:17He already has a place in jail.
15:19And they also tell me that ...
15:21He was already transferred to the Gualeguaychú jail.
15:23That Urribarri
15:25was disbursed and was not yet transferred.
15:27What do you know about that, Dani?
15:29That's what they're telling me.
15:31No, no, no, I don't understand.
15:33I don't know if he was disbursed or a relative.
15:35Ah.
15:37He is disbursed, he told me.
15:39They told me that he is already on his way here.
15:41That ambulance we saw at the door
15:43of the house had to do with this.
15:45And yes, exactly.
15:47What you are showing there.
15:49Dani, a big hug, thank you for these minutes.
15:51A hug, a hug.
15:53Of course we will continue and we will deepen.
15:55We reiterate, we reiterate,
15:57we reiterate.
15:59Sergio Urribarri is arrested.
16:01Let's recap the news
16:03because it really is serious.
16:05Here someone pointed out to me
16:07that Santa Fe had two
16:09vice governors arrested.
16:11Carlos Aurelio Martínez,
16:13who was vice governor
16:15from 83 to 87
16:17and Antonio Van Rel
16:19from 87 to 91.
16:21But of course, they are not governors, right?
16:23No, governor and also
16:25recently power.
16:27Van Rel, at the time.
16:29Of course, Van Rel.
16:31Yes.
16:33With the characteristics of Urribarri,
16:35I don't think so.
16:37No, no.
16:39The power that Urribarri had,
16:41the closeness with the Quixotism and others.
16:43And the power he knew he had.
16:45We send him a greeting
16:47that he was seeing us and pointing
16:49effectively that.
16:51But let's recap.
16:53Sergio Urribarri is in prison.
16:55Former governor of Entre Ríos
16:57and former ambassador of Argentina
16:59in Israel, Cata.
17:01Exactly what the Entre Rianas
17:03justice proved is that he disposed
17:05illegally of public funds
17:07to finance his electoral campaigns,
17:09among other things.
17:11And he did it through
17:13printing and advertising.
17:15That's why they were also condemned.
17:17For example,
17:19the Director of Culture and Communication
17:21of the province also.
17:23Because they saw all that network of advertising
17:25and printing through which
17:27he disguised
17:29and went to the funds.
17:31And according to the information that Javi handles,
17:33that ambulance has to do
17:35with the fact that Urribarri himself
17:37is still at home, unpaid.
17:39They are assisting him to be able to transfer him.
17:41If he is unpaid, they have to transfer him.
17:43In fact, he was detained at a hospital.
17:45And then put him
17:47on high alert
17:49to be able to be transferred
17:51to the prison unit.
17:53And the information we handle is that in principle
17:55he would go to the prison in Paraná,
17:57although it is also talked about in Huayhuaychu.
17:59Yes, what they tell me is that Aguilera
18:01is in the prison in Paraná, in La 1.
18:03And he is also going to La 1.
18:05Now, if they change it now, I don't know.
18:07It is a Cata sentence of 8 years.
18:098 years in what the justice is asking for?
18:11Yes, yes.
18:13He was sentenced on April 7
18:15to 8 years of 20-22.
18:17And he was married last year.
18:19He ratified it. Now he only has
18:21the Supreme Court case,
18:23which Urribarri has already appealed.
18:25But so far the court has no deadlines
18:27and has not spoken in favor or against
18:29this appeal.
18:31So there is only one court case left.
18:33Yes, like Cristina.
18:35Like Cristina or Menem.
18:37And now the last card
18:39that Urribarri has left,
18:41which is very difficult to see,
18:43both for the case of Urribarri
18:45and for Cristina,
18:47that it turns around, that it goes back
18:49once it reaches the hands of the Supreme Court,
18:51which went through so many prosecutors,
18:53so many judges, so many instances.
18:55First you have to see if the court takes place.
18:57If the court opens up the extraordinary resource.
18:59We know that in the history of Argentina,
19:01the vast majority of historical and powerful sentences
19:03usually took their time.
19:05The Maqueda court,
19:07in an interview, for example,
19:09about Cristina's conviction of marriage,
19:11the ratification,
19:13said they were going to take a long time.
19:15We have to see what happens.
19:17In this case, with Amado Ubudú,
19:19they were also fast.
19:21In the case of Urribarri,
19:23they decided quickly what they were going to do
19:25with this appeal.
19:27It is important, Cata, what you mark.
19:29Here there is a double judicial instance
19:31that condemns him for speculation and enrichment.
19:33Eight years in prison.
19:35The first instance of the conviction
19:37was in 2022,
19:39last year, in 2023,
19:41he ratifies this conviction
19:43and now his detention arrives.
19:45When Urribarri already appealed to the Supreme Court
19:47and he only has that instance left.
19:49It must also be understood
19:51that his detention,
19:53among many other evidence that we will know
19:55while we comb the file,
19:57weighed that he ran
19:59to a prosecutor like
20:01Lola Goyeneche, who was in charge
20:03of the investigation.
20:05It was a very serious case.
20:07It is very important what you say
20:09because the political power
20:11still without Urribarri in management
20:13was put on the prosecutor
20:15who had investigated.
20:17Daniel Enns, who is the colleague
20:19who from the magazine Análisis
20:21made several of these complaints
20:23investigating a little
20:25the route of Urribarri's money.
20:27Now, repeat the judicial power
20:29because that is very important.
20:31Exactly, Cecilia Goyeneche
20:33then was dismissed
20:35for having investigated the political power.
20:37It was the prosecutor who instructed this case,
20:39the one that basically
20:41drove all the denunciation
20:43for corruption against the former governor
20:45Urribarri and basically
20:47thanks to the threads
20:49that Urribarri has in the provincial power
20:51is that they run it
20:53and dismiss it and now basically
20:55that she returns to her position as prosecutor
20:57for doing her job well
20:59they dismissed her, it depends on the Supreme Court.
21:01Everything is in the hands of the court.
21:03What has to be clear is that we are talking
21:05Javi of an effective prison
21:07that is, Urribarri.
21:09Once this health compensation
21:11that he had
21:13in his own home
21:15where you are seeing the ambulance
21:17will go to a prison
21:19will go to a penalty.
21:21In principle it would be the number one in Paraná.
21:23So far what they tell me is that
21:25in the city of Paraná
21:27everything is available for them
21:29and they have places, obviously.
21:31It is not a common prison,
21:33although anyone can say it would have to go
21:35to a common prison.
21:37Well, it is not a common prison.
21:39The truth is that they would have a place for him
21:41and both for his partner
21:43in the trial, Aguilera.
21:45And the police
21:47have already taken care of that.
21:49In fact, the transfer
21:51by the police of Entre Rios
21:53to prison number one.
21:55Yesterday they transferred him to Aguilera
21:57with the judicial command
21:59and they will also do the same with Urribarri.
22:01Aguilera, as you said, Javi,
22:03who is Urribarri's brother-in-law
22:05and who is accused of one of the crimes
22:07against the public administration
22:09for being the owner of the prints
22:11to which the financial works
22:13with public money
22:15and official at the same time were turned.
22:17Always printing, always advertising.
22:19Well, basically
22:21Urribarri is being condemned
22:23and put in jail for using all those funds
22:25that were public, that are of everything,
22:27of the tax payment
22:29to finance his own election campaigns.
22:31It is very serious
22:33the sentence, the accusation he had
22:35and how justice took this whole circuit
22:37for granted.
22:39Here also intervenes, as a lawyer,
22:41Fernando Burlando
22:43of Urribarri
22:45who at the time
22:47had asked
22:49Judge Servini
22:51to make a statement
22:53regarding the issue
22:55of the issue linked
22:57to the oral and public trial
22:59that was going to follow at the time
23:01to Urribarri.
23:03He also intervened
23:05at the time
23:07for the complaint against the journalist
23:09with whom we spoke a while ago
23:11here in the city of Buenos Aires
23:13had intervened Guillermo Marijuan.
23:15The complaint against him
23:17was taken here in federal justice.
23:19There we are receiving from Canal 9
23:21the coast.
23:23If it has sound, I want to see.
23:25Of course, that was lived in the house of Urribarri.
23:27An ambulance
23:29in the middle.
23:31Garat street of Concordia.
23:33Yes.
23:35Let's see if it has a story.
23:37Tomato sauce
23:39that some guys prepared with fresh tomatoes.
23:41That's the ambulance
23:43in Urribarri's house
23:45in Urribarri's house.
23:47It is the kindness of the colleagues
23:49of Canal 9 of the coast
23:51who show that ambulance
23:53and the information we have is that
23:55that ambulance
23:57would be transferred to Urribarri
23:59which is decomposed inside the home
24:01knowing that
24:03as Javi said,
24:05the arrest warrant is already there.
24:07Just like that.
24:09The judicial power of Entre Rios
24:11is communicating some details
24:13simply
24:15informing
24:17what we are also telling.
24:19Also about this
24:21situation
24:23where it has moved.
24:25We will see if Cristina Fernandez
24:27says something about
24:29this arrest.
24:31She has not spoken so far about this issue.
24:33No, I'm looking at it and there is still no
24:35reproduction of the closest circle
24:37of Cristina, but well, yes,
24:39it is very close to Kirchnerism.
24:41According to the information
24:43we are seeing,
24:45in double judicial instance,
24:47there will not be any kind of
24:49narrative
24:51in relation to
24:53that he is a persecuted man.
24:55Here it is quite clear that
24:57Enrios Plata speaks of 8 million dollars.
24:59Yes, but it is the argument of many
25:01former Kirchnerist officials
25:03starting with the former first
25:05mandatory to the bottom, who have been victims
25:07of judicial persecution and it has been a strategy
25:09that they have taken to the courts,
25:11not only to the media.
25:13Clearly, if it came to a ratification
25:15of the House of Representatives and
25:17went through so many instances,
25:19justice will have found enough evidence
25:21to order, above all, his detention.
25:23They are also evidence
25:25that he wanted to hide something,
25:27that they run to the prosecutor who instructed
25:29the investigation.
25:31The prosecutor herself, as you said,
25:33already requested before the court
25:35to be reinstated and she will
25:37surely be reinstated, right?
25:39Yes, but she was out of office
25:41because she was subjected to the trial
25:43and she was removed from her role
25:45as a prosecutor, basically,
25:47for doing her job well again.
25:49She was tried in a trial
25:51in Enrios and she was removed
25:53from her position as a prosecutor
25:55for having done precisely this investigation.
25:57But you saw, Facu, that when the winds
25:59of power change, there justice
26:01moves in another way and this also
26:03happens in this case.
26:05The first criminal case of Paraná
26:07is the case in which he was sentenced
26:09to 8 years of effective prison
26:11for speculation,
26:13among other crimes,
26:15in what was known
26:17as the mega-trial
26:19in which different acts
26:21of corruption were included
26:23linked to the use of state
26:25public resources to promote
26:27the presidential candidacy
26:29of the then governor
26:31Entre Riano.
26:33Marcela Davite,
26:35Marcela Badano,
26:37the judges, sorry,
26:39Marcela Davite, Marcela Badano
26:41and María Evangelina Bruso
26:43made way for a case
26:45interposed by the Public Prosecutor's Office.
26:47They revoked, in this way,
26:49a resolution of the court
26:51against this measure,
26:53providing the effective preventive
26:55prison of the former governor
26:57and his brother-in-law, who is already
26:59arrested, Javi.
27:01The failure, says the analysis,
27:03of the need for preventive prison
27:05must be reconciled with the seriousness
27:07of the fact that it is being investigated
27:09about this situation
27:11and with the international obligation
27:13assumed by the Argentine state
27:15to prevent, investigate, sanction
27:17and repair the crimes of corruption.
27:19Attention, there is exclusive material.
27:25What you are going to see now,
27:27in this last moment,
27:29Javi, is the transfer of
27:31Uribarri. Listen to it.
27:33...the former governor Sergio Uribarri.
27:35We found ourselves
27:37at the door of his home
27:39and we were able to corroborate
27:41that finally this was carried out.
27:43In principle, two vehicles
27:45of the Entre Ríos police
27:47entered and later
27:49a private ambulance
27:51was present
27:53to attend
27:55to the former governor
27:57Sergio Uribarri, who felt
27:59decomposed. Minutes later,
28:01the two vehicles
28:03that had entered
28:05one of them
28:07with the presence of the former
28:09governor Sergio Uribarri,
28:11who will be transferred
28:13to Penal Unit No. 1
28:15of the city of Paraná.
28:17Well, that's what we saw
28:19from the colleague
28:21of Canal 9 Digital.
28:23Kindness, the material they put on air.
28:25We reiterate, and I'm going to get in touch
28:27with Marcelo Padovani's cell phone.
28:29Cata, we reiterate then.
28:31Yes, let's see.
28:33He was sentenced in the first instance
28:35in 2022.
28:37Later, at the trial,
28:39they ratified his sentence in 2023
28:41and today they detained
28:43Sergio Uribarri, former governor
28:45of Entre Ríos. He had been sentenced
28:47to 8 years in prison for
28:49illicit peculation and enrichment.
28:51He used public funds
28:53to finance his election campaign.
28:55All the marketing
28:57of his election campaign,
28:59all the advertising of his election campaign
29:01was with public funds,
29:03and this was proven by the Entre Riana justice.
29:05He went to the action house
29:07and now the last resource
29:09that the former governor has left
29:11is the Supreme Court, which has no deadline.
29:13But the truth is that the justice
29:15considered, because at one point
29:17they had underestimated detaining him,
29:19the prosecution insisted that it could obstruct
29:21the investigation and the process that had to be stopped
29:23and finally today they decide
29:25and resolve that it had to be stopped
29:27and they detain him and his brother-in-law.
29:29We are talking about a very powerful
29:31former governor who was in power
29:33between 2007 and 2015
29:35and the measure will
29:37govern until the sentence
29:39that sentenced him for 5 causes of corruption
29:41is firm. The file
29:43has already been submitted to the Supreme Court
29:45of Justice after they granted him
29:47the extraordinary resource
29:49presented by the defense of Uribarri
29:51who is waiting to see if they say something.
29:53One in the afternoon,
29:55first hour of our news,
29:57until two o'clock we stay,
29:59we will return to Entre Rios,
30:01we will have more details,
30:03Javier Icata is working with the file.
30:05We repeat, they detained Sergio Uribarri,
30:07the former governor of Entre Rios.
