Overview
- Judge Sabrina Namer ordered Uberti’s immediate capture to execute the now-final sentence, with no public confirmation of his detention as of the latest reports.
- The Supreme Court panel of Horacio Rosatti, Carlos Rosenkrantz, and Ricardo Lorenzetti made the verdict final after ruling the defense filing failed Acordada 4/2007’s formal requirements.
- Uberti was convicted in 2023 of attempted import smuggling of unlawful gifts for his role in the 2007 arrival with Guido Antonini Wilson, who carried US$790,550 into Aeroparque.
- The court also left in place suspended sentences for four former customs officials found guilty of aggravated contraband cover-up.
- Uberti remains a cooperating defendant in the separate “Cuadernos” corruption case, and Antonini told U.S. authorities the seized cash was intended for a political campaign.
