Buenos Aires, March 9 (NA) – Former PRO official Juan Cruz Orrico was sentenced this Monday to five years and eight months in prison for running over and killing four young people in the Entre Ríos city of Concepción del Uruguay. Lorena Dubini, mother of Lucas and Brian Izaguirre, spoke with the Argentine News Agency and confirmed that the Trial and Appeals Court of Gualeguay found the former head guilty of aggravated negligent homicide due to blood alcohol content and the plurality of victims. “The sentence will be final on March 17,” the woman stated after learning the verdict, almost two years after the fact. Additionally, Judge Darío Crespo ruled a special disqualification from driving for nine years, while ensuring that the “extremely serious negligence” committed by Orrico was proven, who apologized to the families. On June 20, 2024, Orrico was driving his Volkswagen Passat with 1.59 g/l of alcohol in his blood when he collided with the Chevrolet Corsa carrying the Izaguirre brothers, Leonardo Almada, and Axel Rossi, at kilometer 223 of Route 39, in the province of Entre Ríos. The implicated party had offered, through his lawyers, a economic repair of 150 million pesos to the complainants to address the “moral damage” caused after the fatal accident. IP The injured parties, all fathers, were heading to their work at the Fadel slaughterhouse in Pronunciamiento when they were hit by the former head of the Entre Ríos Port Institute. #AgenciaNA
