Overview
- Federal prosecutor Fabiana de León asked the TOF7 tribunal to convict Andrea del Boca as a necessary participant and requested a three-and-a-half-year prison term.
- She also sought four and a half years plus perpetual disqualification from public office for former planning minister Julio de Vido, and four years for ex-UNSAM rector Carlos Ruta.
- The prosecution asked for US$3.126 million in joint restitution to the State, leaning on an SGN audit that flagged irregular clauses and a no-bid contracting process.
- The case centers on alleged triangulation through UNSAM to fund the series and on a 60-month international exclusivity clause with an optional 60-month extension despite public financing.
- Del Boca’s defense argues she fulfilled her contract and cites a Supreme Court expert review that it says found no irregularities as defense closings begin before a verdict.
