Overview
- Federal Judge Ricardo Mihanovich advanced the laundering case against Emerenciano Sena and Marcela Acuña to an oral and public trial at the request of prosecutor Patricio Sabadini.
- Prosecutors allege the couple laundered provincial funds through the Fundación Doctor Saúl Andrés Acuña, citing more than 50 million pesos billed in 2022 and 186 million in 2023 to Chaco agencies.
- The laundering probe was triggered by a June 9, 2023 raid that seized six million pesos in cash and later incorporated travel records to Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil and Italy and a sizable asset portfolio.
- A popular jury unanimously found César Sena the material author of Cecilia Strzyzowski’s femicide and his parents participants, imposing life sentences, while several others were convicted of concealment.
- Chaco authorities will seek judicial registration of Cecilia’s death certificate and offer the recovered ashes to her family, with the sentencing phase scheduled for November 26.
