Overview
- Salgado left Mendoza’s San Felipe prison after judges confirmed he could finish nearly two remaining years of a six‑year unified sentence under a domiciliary regime at his family finca.
- His release was finalized after Judge María Laura Cuatrini reiterated the order following a habeas corpus and the Federal Tribunal issued a written notice stating there was no basis to keep him incarcerated.
- He had been freed on Thursday, November 6, then returned to custody the next day over coordination issues tied to a separate federal threats conviction against a Banco Nación manager.
- The six‑year term stems from multiple corruption convictions, including retaining parking revenue linked to the La Salada fair and administration fraud for issuing 486 bad checks, with lifetime disqualification from public office.
- Having served about four years in prison, he is now on conditional release and, according to local reports, intends to work his family farm while completing the sentence under monitoring.
