Corrientes High Court Upholds 12-Year Sentence for Cositorto in Generación Zoe Fraud

A unanimous ruling closes the provincial review, leaving the prison terms in force.

Overview

  • The Superior Tribunal of Justice of Corrientes confirmed the February Goya verdict for illicit association and repeated fraud against Leonardo Cositorto and his lieutenants.
  • The court left in place sentences of 12 years for Cositorto and 8 years for Maximiliano Batista, Miguel Ángel Echegaray and Lucas Damián Camelino, ordering them to remain incarcerated.
  • Judges dismissed defense nullity and cassation petitions as a rehash of arguments already resolved.
  • The ruling preserved the acquittals of Javier Sebastián Medina and Nicolás Ismael Medina due to unproven knowledge or intent.
  • According to the findings, Generación Zoe operated as Zoe Empowerment S.A., luring nearly 100 investors with 7.5% monthly dollar returns via pyramid tactics and supposed trading robots, causing losses above US$396,000 that hit vulnerable savers.
