Overview
- Argentina’s probe into illegal online casinos based in Mar del Plata advanced with two fugitives detained at the Puerto Iguazú crossing and bank safe‑deposit boxes opened under federal orders, with Security Minister Patricia Bullrich citing more than $300 million seized.
- The case is tied to an earlier file naming Fabián Di Julio, accused of phone contraband, running unauthorized virtual casinos and laundering proceeds through ‘mule’ accounts, micro‑transfers, crypto and luxury assets.
- Argentina’s Tribunal Oral Federal Nº4 ordered former minister Julio De Vido to appear Thursday for detention after the Supreme Court left his four‑year sentence for administration fraud in the Once train case firm.
- In Mexico, a federal judge postponed to November 19 the hearing on ex‑governor Javier Duarte’s bid for early release, and he remains incarcerated while the court hears additional witnesses.
- Institutional accountability actions continued as investigators searched the office of Rosario federal judge Gastón Salmain in an abuse‑of‑authority probe and Tucumán removed two police chiefs after prisoners were found working on a private house; in Peru, police said capture efforts remain active after fugitive Vladimir Cerrón gave a live interview under a S/500,000 reward.
