The Federal Court of Córdoba overturned the acquittal of former mayor of Laguna Larga, Fernando Boldú, regarding nearly $300,000 found in a safe deposit box at the defunct illegal financial institution CBI Cordubensis. The funds were initially linked to alleged overcharging and misappropriation of public funds transferred to the now-defunct Einder regional development agency between 2009 and 2012. The first-instance judge had acquitted Boldú due to the closure of related cases in Buenos Aires for 'lack of criminal offense,' but the appellate court rejected this reasoning. The judges highlighted inconsistencies, including the anachronism of $200 bills dated 2006 being claimed as part of a family inheritance from 2000. Additional forensic analysis is pending on the authenticity of documents presented by Boldú, and there are suspicions about the involvement of former provincial judge Susana Esther Martínez Gavier, whose role in the case remains unclear.
