Overview

• Ex rector Juan Alberto Cerisola was found guilty of breach of duties and coauthor of fraud and received three years and six months in prison with perpetual disqualification from public office.
• Former construction chief Olga Cudmani got three years and two months, ex contracting director Osvaldo Venturino received a two-year suspended term, and former subsecretary Luis Fernando Sacca was acquitted.
• The court ordered financial reparations, including a $39,277,376 payment by Cerisola and Cudmani to be updated by the inflation index, plus an additional sum from Cudmani and Venturino tied to a specific project.
• Judges denied the prosecution’s request for preventive detention, so those convicted remain free while their expected appeals move forward.
• The case centered on a 2007–2008 decision that cut the legally designated 40% of YMAD profits for the university and redirected funds away from finishing the Ciudad Universitaria, with separate discussions reported on restoring that allocation.
