He was arrested in April 2021 in Río Negro and spent over four years in detention, including time under house arrest due to health concerns. His case gained further notoriety due to his financial connection to politician José Luis Espert, whom he supported during the 2019 presidential campaign. Recently, he has been in the news following the Argentine government's move to proceed with his extradition to the United States, contingent upon the U.S. recognizing the time he has already served in Argentina.
