Former Federal Planning Minister Julio de Vido was cleared of corruption charges in a high-profile case involving the alleged diversion of public funds for social housing, according to court proceedings on Monday. Four other defendants, including former officials and two brothers associated with the Madras de Plaza de Mayo Foundation, were convicted and sentenced to less than three years in prison.
The case, known as 'Sueños Compartidos,' involved the misuse of over 206 million pesos in state funds. The court rejected defense arguments claiming the statute of limitations had expired and ordered the forfeit of seized assets worth 206 million pesos.
