Overview
- Rosario’s Federal Oral Court No. 2 convicted Hernán Diego García of narcotics transport and active bribery, imposing eight years in prison and equal-term absolute disqualification.
- The case began with a May 14, 2023 stop near the General Lagos toll where Gendarmería found 92 ecstasy-type tablets, about 3 grams of marijuana, and cash in a Chevrolet Meriva driven by García.
- A court-appointed chemist identified the tablets’ active substance as MDA, and the judges accepted Gendarmería testimony and seized phone data indicating García offered dollars to avoid formal proceedings.
- The oral trial ran from September 5 to 26, 2025; auxiliary prosecutor Magdalena Borgonovo sought an eight-year term, and the court published its written rationale on October 6 after a unanimous verdict.
- Co-defendant Alan Gabriel Vignolles remains at large under national and international warrants issued in August 2024, and the Chamber of Deputies dismissed García in July 2024 due to a prior conviction.
