Argentina: López, Schoklenders sentenced; De Vido acquitted in housing fraud case

An Argentine court sentenced José López and the Schoklender brothers to suspended prison terms under three years for misappropriation of funds in the 'Shared Dreams' housing program, while acquitting former minister Julio de Vido. The verdict, delivered just before the statute of limitations expired, also ordered the seizure of $206 million. The lenient sentences and acquittal of a key political figure may signal limited accountability for corruption in public works.
