Prosecutor Seeks Prison Terms for Andrea del Boca and De Vido in ‘Mamá Corazón’ Case

Defense arguments begin August 28 before TOF7.

Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (R) visits a meat market with Jose C. Paz's Mayor Mario Ishi (L), actress Andrea Del Boca (2nd L), Buenos Aires province governor Daniel Scioli (C, back) and Secretary of Commerce Guillermo Moreno in Jose C. Paz, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, May 12, 2011. Argentine President Cristina Fernandez said on Thursday she is "not dying to be president again," deepening speculation about whether she will run for re-election in an October 23 vote. The center-left leader has a giant lead ahead of opposition candidates in election polls, but she is keeping the country guessing over her plans.

Overview

  • Federal prosecutor Fabiana de León requested three years and six months for Andrea del Boca as a necessary participant in fraud, four years and six months for Julio De Vido with perpetual disqualification from public office, and four years for former UNSAM rector Carlos Ruta.
  • The prosecution asked the court to order joint restitution of US$3,126,000 to the State and asset forfeiture to recover the alleged loss.
  • According to the allegation, the project was financed through a triangulation with UNSAM via a direct award that bypassed tenders and granted the producer exclusive international commercialization rights for 60 months with a 60‑month renewal.
  • Investigators say the series carried a budget of about ARS 36.58 million, never aired in Argentina, and the producer collected roughly 76% of the contracted amount.
  • Del Boca’s defense asserts full contractual compliance, cites a Supreme Court expert review that found no irregularities, and plans closing arguments before a verdict expected in the coming weeks.
